His philosophy was basic, but deep, "Don't Talk About it, Be About It" and "Create Everything", meaning create your Dream, and don't let go. If things don't happen for you, make them happen. Live the Life you were meant to, under the passion and beliefs you have developed and do it furocheously!
His own Bio
Zack was born in Miami but grew up in Orlando where he was raised on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, skateboarding and BMX. That quickly developed into a love of music at an early age. From punk to hardcore to metal to hip hop, if it was raw, honest and powerful, Zack was into it. Years later, this passion developed into a career of sorts, writing and performing music, touring with various bands and landing DJ gigs in Orlando, Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville.
A businessman in street clothing, Zack started a company on his own, known as Think Sink or Swim (SNK/SWM) that specializes in boutique printing, design and merchandising. SNK/SWM evolved to SLAY in 2013. After years of building the brand, Zack moved to New York to pursue his dream. Since that time he's traveled the world as a tech for the Misfits with his friend and mentor, Jerry Only, printed merchandise for A-list celebrities, and developed a substantial following among Brooklyn's underground DJs and party-goers. His enthusiasm and energy has attracted the attention of brands such as WeSC, BURRO as well as performers like Ninjasonik, Skrillex, Juicy J, A$AP Mob and many others with whom he's shared the stage.
As DJ FURΘCHΣ, Zack is able to incorporate a wide variety of styles into a genre-bending, crowd-moving, party experience that is appropriate for everything from private parties and corporate events to weekly club nights and block parties.
FURΘCHΣ shared the stage with such notable names as Skrillex, Juicy J, DJ Ynot, DJ Analog, DJ Ma-Less, DJ Queso, Kittybat, Dr. Kahn, Mot, Black Dave, Ninjasonik, Gangsta Boo, A-trak, DJ Craze, Brodinski, Drop the lime, Tamara Sky, Sean Price, The Misfits, DJ Ayres, Yamez, WC Kids, Raider Klvn, Prince Terrence, Dell Harris, A$AP Mob, Johnny Nelson, Venus X, Metro Zu, DJ Face, DJ Annalog, Tanner Caldwell, Altered Beast, LOLmob, DJ Magic Mike, Mic Handz, F. Stokes, DRI, and Cerebral Vortex in such locations as the Webster hall, Beats by Dre store, WeSC store, Glasslands, Knitting Factory, Club Eve, Carlton hotel, Speakeasy, Mybar, spiderhouse, Goldrush, Club Mekka, Club Roxy, East West Worldwide store, Club TSI, Paperbox, Tammany Hall, Backbooth, Ave A, Lit Lounge, the Flat, the Morgan, High Horse, Burro Bar, Suite B, the Social, and Firestone, among many others."
