ZACKCH, born John Zachary Faust Jr. on August 28, 1999, in Fort Riley, Kansas, is a singer, songwriter, musician, producer, and audio engineer. Raised in a military family, he moved to Columbia, South Carolina at age two. His love for music began early, performing on coffee tables as a toddler and impersonating artists like Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Chris Brown. At five, he joined his church choir, quickly demonstrating his natural vocal and harmonizing abilities.

ZACKCH was formally trained in orchestral instruments and played percussion in his middle and high school honor band. He taught himself to play guitar, trumpet, and piano as hobbies. At age 12, ZACKCH joined the boy group Subliminal Game. After the group disbanded, his talent was discovered at a youth center talent show on Fort Jackson’s military base, leading to his first professional recording, a cover of Miguel’s “Adorn.”

After a serious knee injury in high school, ZACKCH spent his recovery time developing his songwriting, production, and engineering skills. Known for creating music that uplifts rather than degrades, ZACKCH avoids profanity and promotes positive messages in his lyrics. He also began offering affordable recording sessions to others to build his skills.
