ZASKA plays neo-soul infused with indie jazz and a touch of funk. Max Zaska is an Irish guitarist, songwriter, musical director, and producer known for his collaborations with many Irish artists, including Hozier.
Max Zaska blends influences from Silk Sonic, Snarky Puppy, Tom Misch and Nubiyan Twist with a guitar style that pulls from greats Wes Montgomery, John Scofield, Nile Rodgers, and Carlos Santana to create a sound uniquely ZASKA.
ZASKA’s 3rd studio album, Nectar, is an upbeat danceable blend of soul, R&B, pop, and hip-hop creating a fusion of Irish neo-soul. The first single, No Right Time, is out on 18 October and the album’s full digital release follows in 2025.
With high-energy and engaging live shows, ZASKA leaves audiences buzzing with performances described as “masterful” (BBC Radio One’s DJ Spoony), “incomparable” (Hot Press), and “joyous” (GoldenPlec).
A Better Way (2022) looks at sustainability, highlighting infectious rhythms textured with horns and strings. “Notes of pure optimism coursing throughout,” The Irish Times. Support from BBC Radio 1 Introducing, Spotify’s ‘A Breath of Fresh Éire’ and Japan’s ‘Monday Spin,’ KCRW, and British Airways ‘Next Big Thing.’
ZASKA’s critically acclaimed debut album, It Takes A Village (2019) features over 25 performers and boldly expressed the complex emotions of becoming a father. It was named Album of the Year by RTÉ 2XM’s Groover’s Corner .
