Songwriter Zach Lockwood, who grew up in Old Lyme and graduated with the Lyme-Old Lyme High School Class of 2007, has signed an exclusive worldwide publishing agreement with Old Gringo/Dis Keef Music.
The 26-year-old has been involved in music his entire life. As a writer and performer since his teens, the Old Lyme native moved to Nashville, Tenn., three years ago and has been working and writing with some of Music City’s brightest talent.
Lockwood says,”Being able to write a song and have people be moved by it in some way is just the best feeling ever. I love being able to do what I do with friends and people who believe in me.”
Old Gringo’s President, Chris Hunter, commented, “It is such a pleasure to be able to work with a kid like Zach. He’s extremely talented as a writer and a player with a strong work ethic and desire to succeed. Music is his being and he continues to impress us on a daily basis.”
Dis Keef’s President, Kenneth Wright, adds, “Zach is a good guy and always brings something to the table. That counts with us.”
Lockwood is an ASCAP writer and will be represented by Old Gringo/ Dis Keef’s new “TEAMGOFORIT” company.
Lockwood’s parents are Dann and Kathleen Lockwood of Old Lyme.
