So we were in Richmond earlier this week with the Bee and this dude Zak hit me up to let me know that I was in his hometown. I'd met him a few times before when I had visited friends at his current school, Carnegie Mellon, but we'd never exchanged more than a few words. Well, turns out, he is not only a fantastic tour guide, but a pretty freaking great guy as well. Vanessa & I, as well as some of the Bee cast, ended up spending just about every free moment of downtime with him, and I'd now count him as someone that I know I'll be friends with for a long, long time. Turns out, he's not only an incredibly sweet, genuine person, but also happens to be one of the SICKEST, sleeper r&b singers that we've got in musical theatre. Currently he's in an online contest to get a record deal with Chris Stokes, the producer of some pretty huge recording artists including Destiny's Child, Brandy & B2K. There's no official voting yet, but he has up these promo videos that have gotten him into the finals. They are a must see!
I'll let you guys know when voting info goes up, cuz I'd love to see Zak get all that his ridiculous talent deserves.

he is really really good!
I know this isn't relevant, but I wanted to let you know that I saw your performance in The Bee when it toured in Norfolk, VA recently. I loved the show and your character and you had me laughing till the very end. My best friend and I were sad that we couldn't meet you and the other actors.
I'm glad you had fun with your new friend in Richmond. I'm sure you deserve some lounge time with him and the others. :)
Warm Wishes!
Wow that's unbelievable! I really hope he goes far because voices like that only come around every so often, and he deserves plenty of recognition. Amazing!!
He's awesomeeee. <3
