Zach Matari

New Jersey's Zach Matari, a singer/songwriter, has been surrounded by music his whole life. Inspired to write songs at a young age, his goal as a songwriter has always been to be as prolific as the greats that have inspired him, to write songs and pay homage to them. Some of those greats include Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, J. Cole, Ray Charles and The Bee Gees.  

Zach grew up with a rich culture in a house that exposed him to artists like Umm Kulthum, Amir Diab, João Gilberto, Roberto Carlos and many more.  

Because of this diverse musical background, Zach is the type of songwriter who may sacrifice melody and chord structure to please the story line, thinking a good song is only as good as the story it’s telling.  Zach writes songs that are in his heart, sometimes with friends, and releases them to the world hoping they’ll arrive at the doorstep of someone who needed to hear them. 

Maybe that person is you. 

If his songs evoke even the slightest bit of emotion, he encourages his fans to reach out and tell him about it.  This one-to-one fan interaction makes his day, to hear that something he wrote traveled across highways, train tracks, valleys and seas only to find its way to a listener. Everything happens for a reason. 

Zach Matari's performances boast a swagger & joy that energizes audiences.  Zach's Day One EP charted #5 on iTunes R&B & top 100 on iTunes.  His singles "Risk It All", "Up To You" and "When The Levee Breaks" each won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. "Mirror," "Dançando," and "Risk It All" have each gained more than 220,000 streams on Spotify.  Whether he’s playing with his band, The After Parti, or as a solo act, Zach brings joy, energy, and a new awareness to audiences.
