Zack Bright

When it comes to songwriting, Zack Bright has one goal in mind: to make people feel good through uplifting music.

Hailing from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Zack Bright is a new moniker for this experienced musical artist. After playing drums, guitar and singing in various bands since 2006, it was time to redefine himself and pursue a solo project. The second half of 2018 was a welcoming fresh start to Bright's blossoming reinvention of himself: he found bandmates to bring his debut album to the stage, played nearly a dozen shows in his hometown of Thunder Bay, shot a music video for the first single “Thunder” with acclaimed director Damien Gilbert of Epica Pictures, charted on CILU 102.7fm radio, and capped it all off with a sold-out album release party at the Foundry, one of Thunder Bay's premiere music venues.

With this momentum, Bright is wasting no time in the creative department and is taking the first few months of 2019 to shift musical focus. While his debut album, “Voices”, is a joyful exploration of genres from Bright's musical past, he is setting his sights on a more focused sound as he continues the pop punk/country crossover heard in “Thunder”. Mixing the uptempo, punchy drive of pop punk with the twangy and shimmering guitars of country, an EP full of feel-good music is on the way. Bright notes another reason for the shift in genre:

“2018 marked my opening-up and publicly discussing my struggles with mental health and my music is now relective of the positive messages I want to put out in the world. I want to create cheeky, happy-go-lucky and vibrant music that people turn up to party to. I want my shows to be a happy place not only for me, but for the audience too.”

Towards the end of 2019 he hopes to bring his music to wider audiences with new music and tour dates. His future is certainly looking bright.
