Heavy Duty welcomes songwriter and artist Zach Taylor, pka Dreamer Boy to the roster!
Dreamer Boy has amassed a dedicated following for his lyrical wit, his penchant for melody, and his unique and wholly original aesthetic palette.
“Zachary has a way with giving the listener an open door into his mind and heart” (The Line of Best Fit) – this feeling is apparent on his gorgeous new single, “JUMPSHOT!,” out today.
On “JUMPSHOT!,” Dreamer Boy continues to flex his versatility, following synth-pop thriller “OVER EVERYTHING” and the electrifying team-up with multi-Platinum New Zealand star BENEE, “ARE YOU LETTING GO?”. The two artists are now preparing to hit the road together on a North American tour, which kicks off in late May in Montreal, QC, and ends in Los Angeles, CA.
