L’Uomo Vogue has called him “one of the most interesting and charismatic new talents.”
Producer RedOne, who discovered him, described his voice as “a mixture of Jim Morrison, Bono, and Freddie Mercury.”
We think singer Zander Bleck is just damn good. He reminds us more of a Michael Hutchens – a crowd-pleasing prowler who feeds off devilishly simple beats. Zander doesn’t release songs as often as we like. But each one just keeps getting better.
Check out Zander’s latest single “Mercy Me” and then learn more about him below.
