Zach Bailey

Songwriter / Performer / Recording Artist
Inspired by the vulnerability of singer-songwriters and the dance floors of Los Angeles, Zach Bailey (pronouns: he/they) shares their music as an offering to deep dive within ourselves and dance to a place of joy.

Described by publications such as Earmilk, Metal, and IGGY as “Authentic”, “Danceable”, and “Optimistic”, Zach aims to uplift their relationships with song.

Bailey’s previous single “See Ya Next Time” placed second in 88.5 FM The SoCal Sound’s 2024 “Next Big Sound” competition.  They co-founded the Lazy River Presents: Weekly Songwriters Open Mic first starting in March 2023 at the Silverlake Lounge and is now currently ~every other Tuesday at The Fable.

Zach continues to write and record with their community of collaborators.  More on the way!
"The Dive Bar" debuted July 30th, 2024. It is a story of connecting with folks from the open mic they host. Its music video showcases many familiar faces from the scene.
“The Dive Bar” is a heartfelt tribute to the open mic scene… showcasing it as a nurturing ground for artists… through the connections forged within its walls.”

"Zach Bailey's recent full band show at a packed Hotel Cafe... enticed with slow-burned guitars, mood-drenched vocals... and a thunderous applause erupted after 'See Ya Next Time' was performed."

"[When I Was With You's] heartfelt and poignant lyrics epict a tale of lost love, while evoking deep nostalgia. You can feel the sadness, but also a glimmer of hope in Zach's haunting voice. Every note, every word is imbued with palpable emotion."
