Zak Leever’s productions are those rave-day anthems you know - but didn't know he produced. He’s a blind workhorse for his creations and for those he cares for in the music industry.
Zak has lived for music since age 8, choosing the piano over Ritalin as ADHD treatment—breaking his femur once and cracking his skull to Fatboy Slim six times as a child (twice on marble tables).
Falling deeply for electronic music at 14, Zak recreated classic dance music tones, made his YouTube debut, and began remixing amidst EDM’s explosion in the US as commercial music. With his best friends, Zak DJ'd popular raves for his high school class, inventing his teenage moniker “Stand Tall Fists Up” (AKA STFU).
Eventually with this moniker Leever connected with A-Trak, Diplo, Coco & Breezy, DJ Craze, and a slew of other DJs at a young age, becoming a craftsman for popular dance music, all while mastering jazz and classical piano. His productions have been Billboard Dance hits and are practically in constant rotation on SiriusXM.
Today, Zak is a committed songwriter and performer in the dance music world. Zak’s purpose is rooted in honest self-transformation and an obsession with what makes people move—emotion, real love, and a connection with the simple things we find so comforting. For Zak, these are lush chords, heavy rhythm, and a connection with his audience at every scale.
