Zak Sandler: Broadway Pianist and Singer
Overview
I'm a pianist and singer, having played both on Broadway for "Wicked" and "Mean Girls", as well as for weddings, corporate events, luncheons, senior living facilities, and much more. Clients have included Delta Airlines and the Adas Israel senior living community.
I play all styles, from Golden Age classics and Jazz, to 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, as well as modern pop, country, folk, rock, and musical theater. I can vibe as background music, or take a more central role if you want me to sing as well!
I'm also an experienced speaker, having given a TED Talk, "Can Mental 'Disorder' Be a Superpower?".
I hope to work with you for your event!

December 8, 2025Exceptional Talent and Irresistible Charm—Zak Sandler Is a M
Zak Sandler is an extraordinary talent. His skill as both a pianist and vocalist is nothing short of remarkable—rich, expressive, and beautifully polished. Every piece he performed felt elevated by his musical sensitivity and effortless command of the keys. He doesn’t just play music; he creates an atmosphere.
What makes Zak truly unforgettable, though, is his personality. He is warm, charming, and instantly likable. He engages with guests in a way that feels genuine and natural, bringing a sense of ease and joy to the entire experience. His presence added as much to the event as his performance did.
If you’re looking for a performer who is incredibly gifted, deeply professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with, Zak Sandler is it. I would book him again without hesitation.
