Zach grew up in a house with four sisters and is the only singer in the family. He hails from a huge sports town and his father is a very big football fan. Growing up, Zach's life consisted of football, tennis and swimming and only recently did he start spending time with music and theater. Zach recently told his parents that he wanted to leave sports for the arts and hopes his audition will prove to them that he's meant to be a performer.
