DREAMER BOY
Dreamer Boy is the musical persona of 23 year-old Zach Taylor, from Spokane. He’s a beautiful singer whose hits will melt even the stoniest of hearts. The lo-fi bedroom pop songs tackle love, heartbreak and self-growth.
Speaking to the very self-aware young artist you can see how his personality comes through in all of his work, in a way that you will finish listening to his songs and feel like you’ve spent an evening sitting outside by a fire, watching the sun come up and talking to him about anything and everything.

You recently released your single 'Don't Be A Fool'. Tell us a bit about the process behind this latest song?
I wrote this song in a hotel room 2 years ago on my first tour and I was reflecting on being in a place where I needed to express my feelings for someone else and this was my way of encouraging my previous self. We worked on different versions of the song's production but the heart of it stayed the same.
