#CMAFest25: Zach John King talks blending sounds and “I Deserve A Heartbreak”

Zach John King is a Georgia boy who comes from a long line of poets, and that is evident in how he puts lyrics first in his songs.
He effortlessly blends a raw alt-rock edge with a country sound, and that can be heard in his latest EP Slow Down.
