There is no one style to us, we take what we like and try to write the best possible song. What ever style it comes out as is what it will be.
The Zach Trandum Music Project was originally started by Zach Trandum Himself as he set out to begin a career in music. Zach has spent long hours and several years studying the art of vocal jazz, soaking in ideas and techniques from the likes of Kurt Elling, Mark Murphy, Mel Torme and so many others. Taking what he has learned from jazz, Zach has now slammed it together with a unique blend of R&B, pop, and rock, the final product is an amazingly tastey, exciting sound that never fails to get people moving and clapping.
Joining the Zach Trandum Music Project is an amazing young man. Mitch Latta is, "one of the most amazing percussionists I've ever had the pleasure of performing with" as Zach would put it. Mitch sports a wide array of unexpected and down right tasty fills as well as a huge range of style. It seems that this guy just never stops bringing a surprise to the stage, or to Zach either. "Every time we play together he does something new that totally catches me off guard." -Zach With the added power of Mr. Latta, the Zach Trandum Music Project is sure to please anyone who takes the time to listen.

The main thing is to live for that audience, 'cause what you're there for is to please the people." -- Luis Armstrong
