Under the moniker Marco Z, thirty-something DIY troubadour gone day time clerk Marco Zanetton got temporarily world star famous overnight in his home country of Belgium. With a country-pop anthem about freeing up one’s mind from the shackles of post-slacker doctrine he got all the nation’s generations whistling along to 'I’m a Bird'. All this obviously took him by surprise as he put himself on a Jim Carreyesque Yes Man-style rollercoaster ride resulting in him quitting his day-job, grotesque triple life size stage banners and numerous awards and celebrations.

Z went on to release a double album 'Hold Me Like the World is Ending' in 2015, which garnered more airplay, press and shows. Then, after a fatherhood focused hiatus, in 2021, Marco Z released the well-received electronic sounding 'Lost Connections' and in 2022 'Major Opportunities' a true old school rock album.
Currently Z has been recording again with his old-time slacker Gen X-friends dubbed Gen Zen. Songs that musically are closest to his heart full of guitars, bass, drums and lyrics dealing with a current world looking nothing like the one they came of age in thirty something years ago. The singles Worse Before It Gets Better, The Poison Well, and All I Really Wanted Was a Rock N Roll Band are leading up to an ep or an album released very soon. Ish.
