Starting at the early age of 9 in Houston, TX, Zach Kornhauser picked up his first electric guitar...and never looked back. Zach started out playing in numerous cover bands ranging from classic rock hits to more contemporary tunes. Once in high school, he started taking music theory courses with the local powerhouse Kelly Dean. This was just the beginning for Zach’s career in the music industry.

​

From there, Zach received two bachelor’s degrees in music performance and audio production from Columbia College Chicago. This completed education led Zach to become an assistant audio engineer for Grammy-Award winning engineer, Ernie Wells. At the age of 22, Zach would go on to record many world class acts such as Kurt Carr and Kathy Taylor. Alongside this position, he brought his audio experiences to Sugarhill Recording Studios while working alongside Grammy-Award winning engineer and studio owner, Dan Workman.

Zach’s post-college experiences eventually led him to move to New York City, where he received a master’s degree in music business from New York University. During his continued education, Zach made his way into Atlantic Records where he currently is a mastering & audio engineer for their New York City studio facility.

With a strong focus on audio fidelity, Zach’s philosophy aims to create high resolution recordings that fully represents the musicians’ artistic intent.
