zach|ziskin defines modern pop with a fresh, organic sound that wraps instantly memorable melodies in concise, hook-laden songs.  The South Florida native's debut CD, real as the memory, showcases zach’s emotive vocals and personal, insightful lyrics.  His rich, textured sound, steeped in classic pop sensibility, echoes the past but with a modern edge that draws from a wide range of influences.  The result is an opulent record with rock-solid songwriting, driving beats and bold, crunchy guitars.

"One of the best sounding releases, ever, to pass the Indies’ desk--some major label A&R guy is gonna look like a genius when he plays this for his/her boss." -Richard Proplesch, Jam Magazine

"Who says pop music can't be powerful and passionate? The multi-talented Zach Ziskin writes some sweet music, but not sweet like bubblegum, sweet like pure golden honey. Speaking of gold, this guy could write a hit song in his sleep…" -Mark Harris, Ink 19
