The brand-new album, If It’s Not Zaq Baker Live at the Green Room, is maximalist piano rock. With a big team — a rock quartet and four guest vocalists — Zaq commemorates his eras with the huge feeling of a one-time-only live album.
Released December 2023 with videos released in 2023/2024 and more rockumentary footage inbound.
Mixed and mastered by Eric Martin.
January 2023’s very special EP, Solarbaby, celebrates 80’s new wave, synthpop and post-punk in a bold twist from Zaq’s punchy, theatrical pop-rock.
Engineered and produced by Tommy Rehbein.
Summer 2023’s single “Nervous (Anne’s Audition Song),” featuring actor and vocalist Anne Brown, is that rare Broadway-inspired composition that stands alone — in this case combining fact and fiction to tell a backstage story, thick with grand piano.
Engineered by Rob Genadek.
This Time It’s Personal
Earnest and unrestrained, This Time It’s Personal showcases Zaq’s signature lyrical play and depth in eight songs — grand piano and a full strings ensemble performed by Jillian Rae, and intimate vocals. This Time It’s Personal offers an “exhale” to Cardio (released Dec. 2020) and Maddie’s Delivery Service (released Feb. 2021), which each feature a full pop-punk outfit alongside grand piano, strings, harmonies and guest vocals.

Discography
Before Solarbaby and This Time It’s Personal: three albums, three EP’s, four standalone singles, and instrumental versions of Zaq’s whole catalogue (think study, focus or cinema).
Maddie’s Delivery Service
Five fictional, theatrical stories, almost like a musical, driven by a full rock ensemble, vocal harmonies, grand piano, and a string quartet.
Cardio
Eight songs, mostly confessional and love-worn, examining heartbreak and mental health. Heavily influenced by pop-punk, laced thoroughly with grand piano and touches of classic rock and new wave.
Getting Younger
Zaq’s full-length debut and follow-up to Housewarming (his first EP). Punchy piano rock with the firepower of bass, drums, and manic-depressive songwriting.
