Most use their voice to tell a story; I use the piano.

BIO
The piano is Zach Sprowls' voice. With it, he composes stories that are as much ours as they are his own—affecting and true to life.
Once rootless, Zach now proudly calls Scranton, Pennsylvania home. He's come to identify with the relentless heart of the city, with its long history of struggle and its bright future.
Zach came to Scranton feeling broken but found healing in music while there. His first solo release under his name reflects that. "All Beginnings Are Hard" is built around a piano part Zach recorded in his apartment. The aching strings, recorded at Cue Recording Studios outside Washington D.C., underpin that vulnerable core like a testament to Zach's personal hope for the future.
With a musical gift that's as rare as it is disciplined, Zach is eager to release and perform his neoclassical compositions. Variously compared to Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, and Max Richter, his pieces weave the piano, strings, synthesizers, and electronic sounds into crystalline soundscapes that tell real, human stories.
He's ready to share his voice.
