ZACHARY BURNETT & THE WASHED UP KIDSMy name is Zachary Burnett and I am 22 years old. I grew up in the small town of China Spring right outside of Waco, TX. After I graduated from High School I attended Texas A&M University, and graduated with a degree in Sport Management in the Spring of 2021. I have been playing music since I was 8 years old, but it wasn't until my senior year of college that I decided that it was time to chase my dream of writing songs and being an entertainer. So here I am almost a year later as an aspiring Texas Country Music Artist.
Music has always been a big part of my life. The story telling that many artist like The Turnpike Troubadours, Zach Bryan, and Tyler Childers use resonates with me. The way these guys can make you feel with just a song is incredible. When I write and play this is the experience I hope to give anyone that listens.
My first single "Petty Lies" went live on all platforms July 2. After its release I began booking gigs. Playing live has been the most fulfilling thing that I have ever done. Being able to connect with someone that I don't even know just by playing a song, is an experience of a lifetime. This is why I was drawn to music in the first place. It's a realization that someone can relate to what you're going through. Being able to perform and connect with an audience is what is special to me. If people can relate to the words that I am singing, the feeling of the music, and realize that there is someone else out there going through the same things, then I have accomplished my goal as a song writer and entertainer.
I have a lot of music to release here in the near future and I am super excited for you all to hear it!
