Zack Hemsey

Hemsey grew up in New Jersey with his older sister Tara. Inspired by film music and metal, he wanted to become a film composer, which is why, after graduating from Palisades Park High School in 2001, he studied music and philosophy at Rutgers University and graduated with a Summa Cum Laude. During his studies, he worked as an assistant at "RMI" before joining the music studio "The Lodge" from November 2005 to August 2007. Then he became self-employed as a composer and musician. About two years later, he also completed his involvement with "Nine Leaves", a hip-hop ensemble that worked with classical music, where he worked as a composer and poet for over 10 years.

Hemsey began his career as the composer for an obscure hip-hop group called Nine Leaves, where he was one of five lyricists.[6] He began his solo career in 2010 with the release of his first album "Empty Room" and has continued to independently release his own music, which tends to combine elements of alternative hip-hop, alternative rock, and/or instrumentation.[7]

Hemsey has written articles on a variety of subject matter, which he has published on his blog "Thoughts & Ramblings."[8][9] Topics have included the difference between artists and entertainers, mixed martial arts, the birth of his children, the music industry, and a research paper on a rare GBS infection that can occur in newborn babies.[10][11][12][13][14][15]
