ABOUT

Nico Zaca is a singer-songwriter/guitarist and producer. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Zaca attended Duke Ellington School of the Arts, majoring in Classical and Jazz guitar. He began playing guitar after discovering he had a knack for the Guitar Hero video game. By age six, he had a real electric guitar and had written his first song entitled "Blue Ninja"; he has been composing ever since. With an eclectic sound that fuses warm guitar, airy synths, glitchy electronica and conversational lyrics, Nico Zaca’s music seamlessly moves between psychedelic rocking out and heartfelt vulnerability. He released his debut demo project, "No Deeper Meaning" on October 31st, 2020. He is currently working on his second album, set to come out in 2024.
