Additional Info:

Zazie Productions, Asheville’s clandestine autistic polymath, seamlessly transitions between roles as a multi-instrumentalist, avant-garde composer, sound artist, graphic designer, and off-kilter short filmmaker. Heralded as a modern visionary of accessible avant-garde, his work defies categorization.
Beginning his self-produced music career at just nine years old, Zazie has crafted hyper-complex, counterintuitive creative visions that both challenge and captivate. At 14, he was commissioned by Black Mountain College to reinterpret Erik Satie’s Gymnopédie No. 1 through musique concrète techniques. The result, Cheaper Impressions (2021), an homage to John Cage’s Cheap Imitation, became a standout track on his acclaimed 2020 EP Stutter to Stammer.
Rumors persist of Zazie being the mastermind behind social experiments, infamous internet hoaxes, and fictional side projects—testaments to his mischief and guile. Balancing the razor's edge between high art and post-ironic spectacle, he continues to create works that redefine the avant-garde.

"Zazie Productions is redefining what it means to be an outsider artist, carving out a space where the avant-garde feels both deeply personal and unexpectedly approachable—a rare and vital force in contemporary music." — Subterranean Sound Index

"Zazie Productions is the Frank Zappa of Gen Z, a modern-day eccentric whose fearless experimentation and sharp wit place him in the lineage of musical iconoclasts who refuse to play by anyone’s rules but their own." — Oblique Frequencies Review

His work is a sanctuary for the musically apostate, a hymn to the discordant beauty that thrives on the fringes
