Byron Zanos Bio

Byron Zanos’ lifelong love of music began in his parents’ living room, listening to his father’s opera collection. He started playing the piano almost as soon as he could reach the keys, but in 1987, the 13-year-old Zanos had a life-altering experience: he bought his very first album, Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite For Destruction. Guitar lessons were quick to follow.

Eventually, Zanos’ tastes grew to include Dave Matthews Band for its versatile musicality; Jeff Buckley’s haunting vocals; and Sting’s penchant for constant re-invention and experimentation. Zanos began to develop a voice as a performer and, not long after that, a style as a songwriter.

A Fort Lee native, Zanos crossed the river to Fordham for college. He started out with his eye on the financial world, but he could not put his instruments down, or use his textbooks for much more than a prop for his amplifiers. He took the plunge, deciding on a career in music—and, not long after graduation, things began to happen.

He released his debut CD, Somewhere In the Middle, featuring the songs “Secrets and Lies” and “Pandora’s Box.” The album was engineered, mixed, and mastered by Grammy Award-winning
