Overview

Zachary Martin engages the crowd, takes requests, plays music from any era with his own personal touch with the use of a technique called "live looping." His energetic presence can sometimes be infectious so beware, your Grandmother just might try some new moves on the dance floor! His stylistic range makes him perfect for the most intimate of occasions as well, such as the moment the groom first sees his bride or the celebration of the life of a beloved family member or friend.

Zachary offers a variety of services including Solo Vocal / Guitar, Acoustic & Dance Bands, DJ services, and Singing Telegrams!

Fantastic band! 100% recommend🔥

I booked Zach Martin Music Entertainment for our corporate holiday party in Ottawa. The guys were amazing. I couldn't ask for more. Everyone at the party loved their performance. I would definitely book the band for our future events.

Knocked it out of the park!!

Zach and Dance Commander provided the backbone of our party. This review is written a few months after the party and people are still commenting how amazing a job they did in delivering great sound and a perfect set list to bring up the energy.

Zach was great to work with in preparation to ensure I had zero stress on the music front. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding or party.

Can’t thank them enough for making our party!!

Zach was the best idea for our party!

Zach went above and beyond for our surprise party. Not only did he sound amazing and did all types of genres, he also really engaged the crowd. Most of all he sounded absolutely amazing- a true musician. We will absolutely be hiring him again.

Book him already! Do it!

Thank you so much to Zach and the band for being a highlight of our wedding. They got us up on our feet and singing along. He also learned songs for our first dance, father-daughter, and mother-son dances.

Beyond impressed, though I never had any doubt. Beyond professional leading up to the wedding, answering my questions and adapting to changes.

Thank you, thank you!

Excellent time with Zach

Although we have heard Zach played at another wedding, this was our first time booking with him for our own. He is an exceptional musician and our every request was attended to. We had many guests come up to us throughout the evening commenting on how great Zach was. We are looking forward to finding an event to book him again!

Best band ever

I seriously cannot recommend Zach enough for anyone wanting the best music at their wedding. He played our ceremony, cocktail hour and then him and his band Dance Commander played our reception. We received SO many compliments that he and the band were the best music they had ever heard at a wedding. Zach was super receptive and easy to work with leading up to the wedding. His ceremony music was beautiful, the rave reviews from cocktail hour were amazing and then the band was just the most amazing thing ever- our guests were on the dance floor all night and he read the crowd so well. Everyone was saying they’ve never seen so many people dancing at their wedding and that they were incredible. Super professional, easy stress free set up and the best time ever.

Absolutely phenomenal musician with a heavenly voice!!

Zach is an incredibly talented musician who can play anything you request with even short notice and he will perform it even better than you had envisioned. His voice is outstanding and he did such an amazing job for my wedding. He is extremely professional and easy to work with leading up to the event, and he was a calm and wonderful presence to have on the day of! I seriously could not recommend him more highly for a wedding or event (and that’s coming from a bride who is very particular/detail-oriented!)

Singing Telegram

Zach was great. He was sensitive to the message we were sending. He was upbeat, cordial and very gallant. He delivered a rose and sang. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
The Guitar, his playing and his singing were exactly what you would want. He made everyone part of his performance (very engaging). Would hire him again in a heart beat.

Thank you Zach, for making her last day at the company so memorable.

Professional and reasonably priced

We held a virtual conference and had Zachary as a performer during the breaks between presentations. And what an excellent job he did for us. Not only did he play the requested 2 songs per break but when the audience called for an encore he played on. He was fun an energetic and had us all singing along in our desk chairs. Some of us even danced around our office. He knocked it out of the park. Thank you Zachary from the entire CATALYST 2022 team

Nailed it!!!

I loved the performance Zach put together for My wife's birthday. Zach was a blast and he nailed it. The interaction with Zach was super good. Zach has a very solid Playlist and he pretty much played every single song I requested to play.... also guess what... he even prepared a Spanish song for my wife which was the best moment of the evening... he learned a rock in Spanish song and we sing along to my wife...
Zack performance was awesome, he interacted with all of his audience including our kids, who had a lot of fun seeing Zack.

If you are planning to have a musician for your event then believe Zack is the guy you want to have.

Thanks a lot Zack, hope to see you again in the future!! Gracias !!

Zach was such an amazing performer for my cocktail hour (that was outdoors) at my wedding on July 3, 2021 at the Belvedere in Wakefield, QC.

Exactly what we wanted

Zach (guitar, vocals) and his friend (keyboard) provided the music for a birthday party we held at home (60 people). They played a set we had chosen from his extensive repertoire - at times chilled, at times up beat for dancing. Their blend was strong, the vocals clear and everyone commented on their professionalism. They arrived on time, set everything up themselves, made sure the sound was good and were a pleasure to host. A fantastic addition to our night. Thanks Zach

What to Expect

What you can expect when you hire me:

1) A prompt arrival, set up to be completed at least a half an hour before performance time (unless directed otherwise).

2) A well dressed, well groomed, smiling professional. The last thing you want is an unkempt individual taking away from the aesthetic. I'm sure you already know, but trust me, it matters!

3) All equipment provided by me. Whether you're hiring me as a singing guitarist, DJ, or as a leader of a rockin' band, I have the expertise and resources to provide full set ups for each of these scenarios. This includes instruments, sound system, and lights. I can also supply an additional wireless hand-held mic for your use if needed. All I'll need onsite is access to power.

4) An impressive and high quality performance. You want to be sure that the music sounds great, otherwise, what's the point? I'm a trained professional who has been performing live and impressing audiences for 10 years.

5) An engaging experience! Depending on the occasion, you want someone who goes above and beyond simply playing songs. You want someone who can connect with the people, elicit emotions, and get the crowd involved. This is what will ultimately make your event memorable and stand-out.

About

My name is Zachary Martin, I'm 26 years old, and I'm a born and raised Ottawa man who has been performing professionally for 10 years.

Music entertainment is not only my passion, it's my full-time job. Therefore, I offer the experience and service of a professional, not a hobbyist.

I perform in Ottawa and surrounding areas frequently. You may see me entertaining clients at your works office party, family members at your cousins wedding, or all of these people after hours at the pub!

The only thing I love more in this business than playing great music, is connecting with great people. I look forward to connecting with you!

Additional Booking Notes

I can provide full sound set ups for small to medium size venues. This includes set ups for solo, group, and DJ performances.

For dance / party band performances and DJ services I also provide lighting.

All that is required on site is access to power and a sufficient performance / set up area. I supply an extension chord that can stretch up to 100 ft.
