My name is Zach Paradis, which is pronounced "paradise." Confusing, I know. I'm a recording artist, music producer, and audio engineer based in Los Angeles, California. I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, where I attended a 2-year audio engineering program at Cuyahoga Community College. My professional career began in Atlanta, Georgia, where I spent 3 years as an on-staff tracking engineer at an independent record label called Reach Records. During that time, I also began my freelance audio & music career, producing and engineering for outside clients after hours. I produced a handful of records for artists such as Tedashii, Lecrae, Hulvey, Jaylon Ashaun, Ben Provencial and many others, while launching my solo artist career. This all led me to move to LA to further pursue my career as a producer, songwriter, and artist. I am honored to be able to share any information regarding this craft and career that I may know. My personal advances have been hinged on other people's insights and generosity, so I hope to give that same gift to anyone who signs up for this class!
