Zadek is a Long Island born singer/songwriter and composer/lyricist. His work has been heard at Joe's Pub, (Le) Poisson Rouge, 54 Below, Galapagos Art Space, and as part of "In The Valley: The Songs of Zack Zadek" at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. Zack's sold-out musical "6", an intimate telling of six New Yorkers who, by six degrees of separation, unknowingly change each other's lives, was selected by the 2012 New York Musical Theatre Festival. In addition to writing and performing new musical theatre, Zack is an active solo artist who has banged on pianos across New York. His current projects include "The Crazy Ones", a new musical about Steve Jobs and Apple, Inc. (NYMF Reading Series 2013), a new EDM song cycle, and an upcoming solo EP.
