Zach's musical talents originated in bluegrass, before moving to more traditional country at the turn of the last decade.

Growing up, Zach’s interest in country music developed from listening to legends like Marty Robbins, George Jones and George Strait while working on his family’s ranch.

He took guitar lessons from the age of five, and age seven, began performing when he joined his siblings in forming a bluegrass band called Top String.

“I wanted to be the next George Strait for as long as I can remember,” he told music journalist Bethany Bowen in 2024.

How did Zach Top get into music?

In 2018, a tribute Zach posted online of him singing ‘Spilled Whiskey’ in memory of Daryle Singletary went viral, leading to the then still bluegrass-focused artist being noticed and taken under the wing of country music producer and singer Carson Chamberlain.

In 2021, after several years working on his craft, Zach moved to Nashville and signed his first publishing deal. Singles ‘Bad Luck’ and ‘There’s The Sun’ would eventually follow.
