Zachary Barker

Zachary Barker is a singer-songwriter and comedian who relocated from Boston to LA in the noble pursuit of more stage time. Zachary’s love of songwriting took off when he discovered other artists on TikTok posting instrumentals available for lyricists to write and sing over. His ability to pack a verse with rhymes, imagination and detail has helped grow his audience on TikTok to over 150K. While many people find success in sticking to their brand online, Zachary believes in breaking out of every box his last project put him in. This often leads to comments like “Wait, the funny song man can make me cry?” Or “Hold on, the sad song guy is also the orb?” (Long story!)

Zachary’s viral song “Disco Snails,” caught the ear of Jack Stratton (Vulfpeck/Vulfmon) and the two came together to collaborate on the full version 2023, unleashing the final masterpiece in July of 2024.
