Zachary Dirk Top (born September 26, 1997) is an American country and bluegrass music singer-songwriter from Sunnyside, Washington, signed to Leo33. [2]
Zach Top was born on September 26, 1997, [3] and grew up on a ranch in Sunnyside, Washington. He got his musical start performing as part of a bluegrass band with his siblings called Top String. [4] In 2015, Top relocated to Boulder, Colorado, where he enrolled in mechanical engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. After one year in engineering school, Top dropped out citing a lack of interest and found work to save up money to move to Nashville to start a career in country and bluegrass music. [5] After performing as part of various bluegrass groups throughout his teens and early twenties, Top relocated to Nashville in 2021, where he first signed a publishing deal with Major Bob Music. [4] He began recording as a solo artist in 2019, releasing a string of bluegrass singles that culminated in the release of his self-titled debut EP with RBR Entertainment on May 13, 2022. [6]
He pivoted to recording country music and in September 2023, it was announced that Top was signed as the flagship artist for the newly-formed independent record label Leo33. [2] His debut single to country radio, "Sounds Like the Radio", was released on January 8, 2024, and was the most-added song at the format with 55 stations adding the song upon impact. [7] It has since charted in the top 20 of the Billboard Country Airplay chart. Top co-wrote "Sounds Like the Radio" with Carson Chamberlain and Wyatt McCubbin, inspired by his love of 1990s-era country music and artists such as George Strait, Keith Whitley, and Randy Travis. [3] [8] It served as the lead single to Top's debut studio album, Cold Beer & Country Music , which was released on April 5, 2024. [9]
Top's second studio album, Ain't in It for My Health , was released on August 29, 2025. It was preceded by the release of "Good Times & Tan Lines". [10]
