Zack Lober is a native of Montreal, Canada. His musical studies began with professor George Doxas at Lindsay Place High School where he studied the cello and electric bass. From there, his studies continued at Vanier College, where he graduated with a degree in music on electric and acoustic bass. He graduated from McGill University in June 2000 with a Bachelor of Music degree majoring in Jazz Performance with high distinction in Jazz Bass. He is currently living in New York City after completing a Masters degree in Jazz Performance at the Manhattan School of Music.
He has studied privately with bassists Harvie S, Mark Helias, Don Thompson and George Mitchell and attended the 2000 and 2001 editions of the Banff Centre for the Arts International Jazz Workshop.
