Armed with a diverse musical background, Los Angeles based singer/songwriter Zack Hexum has always been able to deliver his songs in a fresh and interesting way. It helps, of course, that Hexum has a rich-textured voice that matches the depth of his songwriting abilities.

Influenced by the likes of Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Paul McCartney, Todd Rundgren, and Jeff Buckley, Hexum is accomplished on both guitar and saxophone, and has a way with words and with melodies that draw generously from those influences while maintaining his own unique voice.

Hexum’s debut, The Story So Far, was released in 2004 on What Have You Records, the imprint of brother Nick Hexum’s (311) label. The Story So Far was produced by the award-winning knob-twirler Don Gehman (R.E.M., Bruce Hornsby, John Mellencamp, Pat Green). Hexum also did a soft launch of an EP, Realistic Fantasy, in late 2005, currently available at live shows and through his website. In early 2006, “How Many Times,” from Hexum’s full-length release, caught the attention of music execs at Apple, who made it the iTunes Single of the Week.

Still in his mid-20s, Zack Hexum graduated from the University of North Texas in 2000, where he studied jazz and performed with the top student big band on campus, One ‘O Clock Lab. He then moved to New York City to study saxophone with David Liebman (Miles Davis), and lived there for two years before moving to Los Angeles. In addition to performing with Liebman in New York, Hexum has recently played saxophone for Michael Bublé and Dredg.

    I gotta say...when it comes to vocal ability, Zack blows Nick the fuck out of the water. And that's coming someone who loves Nick enough to GIF his awkward white boy dance only semi-ironically.

    Met a guy like him once. Well, 'cause it was him actually. And not just once, 3 times. Nice guy after each gig. "Realistic Fantasy" and "Princess of Darkness" are underrated gems o' his.
