I’m Zane Kuchera, a 2014 Berklee College of Music graduate, Boston-based musician, composer (Jazz/Pop/Adult Contemporary/Cabaret), music producer, publisher, and multi-instrumentalist.

Fans say my music belongs in a musical or a Disney movie. I just compose what the words make me feel. The story unfolds emotionally, audibly, and visually. The genres overlap jazz, pop, cabaret, musical theatre, adult contemporary, singer/songwriter, and folk. I use state-of-the-art digitally sampled sound libraries to reproduce instrumentation, notation apps to create the parts for band and orchestra, my voice alone seeing a microphone in my recording studio where the final masters are made and distributed to streaming services and online music stores. Sheet music, conductor and transposed instrument parts made available in any key through Hal Leonard Press. Video is synchronized to music. I am the music producer at ZaneKuchera.com .
