BIOGRAPHY
"Thank ya'll for stoppin' by, can't wait for everyone to see Zac Burrell's music video "Cowboy"... Gonna be a real Hoot!!" -Rodney Berkiepile
At the young age of just three years old Zac Burrell started to play drums for the first time. The early talent was noted by his Uncle who gave him his first full-size drum set at the age of four. Growing up in the city of Pasco, Washington, with two sisters and both parents who were a major musical influence on his life. The classic rock influence came from playing AC/DC, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Led Zeppelin and Rush in the basement with Dad. Mom brought Pop and Motown (Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince and The Temptations) into the picture. These foundational influences along with the then-current music of his era (Hansen, Creed, N’Synce, Chris Brown, Eminem, Usher) began to mold the timing signature he so often displays today.
At the age of 13 he began to master the guitar and at 15 started writing original songs after school and between sports practices. During his high school years he formed a couple bands with friends and also started playing the piano.
By his high school graduation Zac had decided that music would be forever part of his life. As he entered college he molded his curriculum around a music career.
