Primarily known as a founding member and the drummer of Grammy-winning rock band Paramore, the artist is now embarking on a new journey with nine tracks, which he initially ‘did not have too much of a vision for’ but they eventually came together while working in the studio with close friends and co-writers Josh Gilligan and Matt Chancey.
Zac said that he let ‘vibe and intuition guide him’ without an overarching theme in mind, which led to creating a relatable body of work exploring shared human experiences such as anxieties, family issues and communication.
“We said, let’s show up at the studio and see what happens,” the 35-year-old recalled.
“I’ve always had such a vision, even sometimes the name of an album, before I go in, this one was like, if we’re together, the magic will reveal itself. And it did,” he added.
The creative talent said that despite running a solo musical project titled HalfNoise, he chose to release the record under his own name due to it being his most personal creation, as it is expected to musically feature sounds inspired by 70’s rock and psychedelic tunes the artist sought through his personal hard times.
Talent: Zac
“This record is an entire inner dialogue with myself, within myself, so it felt right to cut out the middleman and go ‘This is Zac Farro’. It’s exciting and it feels a lot more pointed,” he explained.
The drummer embarked on his musical career with Paramore at the age of 14 in 2004; he departed from the band in 2010 to create HalfNoise.
Seven years later, Zac returned as a drummer for Paramore, which currently consists of him alongside vocalist Hayley Williams and guitarist Taylor York.
Under HalfNoise, Zac released five studio albums, with the latest one being City Talk in 2023.
With Paramore, the drummer was involved in the band’s entire discography with the exception of their 2013 self-titled album.
