Zach Balch is an award-winning singer/songwriter, guitarist, record producer and recording engineer with elite experience across the music industry spectrum. His professional career began as an intern with The Recording Academy’s Texas chapter, interfacing with professionals across Austin’s vibrant music industry and learning their philosophies about art and business. Wanting to put in the same work as the many he admired in the GRAMMY membership base, he returned to the Dallas/Fort Worth music scene, where he worked as a full-time gigging and recording artist before graduating into producing records for a number of local and regional acts. Desiring more knowledge and experience in the broader music industry, Zach moved into a career in music licensing with a Universal Music Group subsidiary. With FirstCom Music, he cut his teeth placing tracks in national spots with giants like Toyota, Doritos and Coca Cola and worked in the film/TV sphere with placements across the El Rey Network, HGTV, and many feature films
