Présentation

Hi, my name is Zac. I am a guitarist, songwriter and producer from Copenhagen with more than 15 years of experience teaching and performing. Over the years I have worked as a sideman for well-known Danish artists such as Burhan G, Julias Moon, Noah, Cisilia and Jørgen Klubien, while also building my solo career with 4 full-length album releases.

I grew up surrounded by instruments – my father Christian is known for building some of the world’s best bass guitars – and I started singing in the Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir before forming my first blues/rock trio at the age of 12. Inspired by Prince, Stevie Wonder, George Benson and Jimi Hendrix, I developed a deep love for Funk, R&B, Jazz and Soul, which has shaped both my playing and my teaching.

Highlights from my career include:

Performing with members of Prince’s New Power Generation (John Blackwell Jr. & Morris Hayes) during Prince tributes in Copenhagen.

Sharing the stage with Larry Graham (Sly & The Family Stone, Graham Central Station).
Studio collaborations with Skyler Jett (ex-Commodores) and Wilton Rabb (Larry Graham & Graham Central Station).

Recording projects with international musicians such as MonoNeon and Gorden Campbell.
In my lessons, I combine this experience with a passion for helping students develop their own sound. You will learn not just the techniques – funk rhythm, soulful chords, jazz harmony, improvisation – but also how to play with feel, groove and personality.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already advanced, I will guide you in a way that is practical, inspiring and always centered around the music you love.
