Zac Pajak is a South London-based songwriter, artist, and producer whose work blends emotional depth with commercial edge. Whether writing for globally recognised names or his own artist projects, Zac brings a clear sense of melody, strong lyrical instincts, and a grounded understanding of how to connect with an audience. His career has been built on versatility — moving seamlessly between genres, sessions, and stages — but at the core is a consistent focus: writing songs that feel honest and built to last.
As a songwriter, Zac has collaborated with a wide range of artists including Major Lazer, McFly, Mr Eazi and Skepsis, co-writing standout tracks like “Wild and Young” for McFly’s top 5 UK album Young Dumb Thrills and “Tied Up” with Major Lazer, Mr Eazi, and Raye.
