Zach was born on July 9, 1992, and grew up in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. Zach was introduced to music at an early age because of a rich family history of talented musicians. He touched on this talent as a child but after his parents separated his life became a game of survival, moving often and much of the time being forced to take care of himself and his brother. He turned to sports, music and friends as an escape.

His interest in music peaked when he was 18 after a tragic accident, which almost took his life. While breaking up an attempted robbery Zach was stabbed, causing an emergency life flight from Kentucky to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, TN. He needed 42 staples to reseal major arteries in his stomach. During his recovery he turned to music and began spending more time writing and playing music. His music had a fresh new sound that sometimes reflected his pain growing up and his future dreams. Zack shared some of his songs with his Uncle, Frank Mucerino, who believed in Zach and his talent and brought him to Atlanta to pursue his dream.

Frank encouraged Zach and gave him the tools he needed to improve and build on his talent. Zach became the flagship artist with Urban Angels Music Group in early 2013 at the former DARP Studios (now Urban Angels Studios). It was clear to see that Zach possessed a special talent for writing and singing, as well as rapping. He developed a new sound incorporating his talents into his music.

On February 4, 2014, UAMG released Zach’s first mixtape “The Great Escape” produced by Metro Boomin, Sonny Digital, Southside of 808 Mafia, Dun Deal, DJ Spinz Hoodrich, Lex Luger, Ricky Racks and more. “The Great Escape” has been hailed by many in the industry as the best mixtape of 2014. 2015 was a big year for Zach with appearances at CIAA, SXSW and his first tour in April. In January of 2016 Farlow released his second mixtape “The Great Escape 2”.
