Zachary Miles Villere (born August 27, 1995 in Covington, Louisiana) also formerly known as Froyo Ma is an American producer, artist, singer, songwriter, and guitarist.
Born in Covington as the son of the Mayor at the time, Keith Joseph Villere, and Carol Miles. Zack wasn’t allowed to play video games and spent a lot of time listening to music. He has stated he started listening to a lot of Odd Future music at 15 and has said it helped shape his sound. He went to Covington High School and in his latter years of high school he attended New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. While in NOCCA he played the saxophone and was also playing the guitar. He began making beats with FL Studio in his junior year of high school, before his friend showed him how to use Ableton.
Zack then began to experiment more with the new software, and initially used the moniker “Froyo Ma” and released music on Soundcloud. He attended Loyola University of New Orleans for college and he eventually dropped out later. During his time at Loyola, he began to stop playing the saxophone and he started to use the guitar more frequently. While still in Loyola, “Froyo Ma” eventually released his first EP in 2015, titled: Pants.
As Zack’s style of music evolved and he began to sing more in his music, he eventually dropped the name “Froyo Ma” and began to release music under his birth name. He worked for UPS briefly after dropping out of Loyola. He dropped his debut album on June 16th 2017.
