Can you rewrite this for me: Zach is truly one of the most persistent, determined, courageous artists/producers who stays true to himself despite all the noise and words of others. Anyone who has a fire within them to make something of themselves in this life can look to him as a shining light of what it mean to do what you believe in and to never settle for less than what you know you are worth. Truly an amazing collaborator who will generate your idea and bring it to life! 10/10 recommend
The first time I heard ZCOI I honestly thought it was a new Mac Miller song. That same authenticity and storytelling is there. Incredible!

Zco was incredibly helpful in flushing out my song. He blended artistic integrity and music math in a really natural way to make the message I had to say be received in the catchiest form possible. Really appreciated working with him
Zco is a very talented producer and arranger. He has an intuition that only comes after many year of producing. He really can bring the smallest idea to life.
Really enjoyed working with Zco. He’s creative, communicative, and has great musical instincts. The final track came out amazing and I’d happily collaborate with him again.
Zco is seriously talented. He helped turn my rough idea into a polished record and was super collaborative throughout the process. You can tell he really cares about making great music.
