Zach Elyshevitz - Team Blackout
Posted on 11:24 by The Zanna Maison
Team Blackout consists of Rev Run’s teenage son JoJo Simmons and his childhood friends Zach, and Reggie. Since the group formed the group they’ve been honing their craft, in the studio, on stage and even on TV. For the past four-years, millions of Run’s House fans have watched Team Blackout develop, on-air, into a full-fledged group to look out for. In 2007, they landed their first record deal with NY / LA based indie label Latchkey Recordings (distributed via Koch Entertainment).
Team Blackout immediately hit the studio to record their debut album, ‘Lights Out’, in stores 8/19/2008. ‘Lights Out’ was produced entirely by upcoming production duo Chris n Teeb (Danity Kane, Salt N Pepa), Grammy award winning producer Rockwilder and Ron Browz. Rev Run serves as the LP’s executive producer.
Fans around the world got to watch the boys hang around the house in New Jersey and prepare for their debut album. Each member is now working on solo projects and Zach is using his training as a musician and his natural gifts as a lyrist to create fun, positive and intelligent music.
Zach is currently a junior year at The City College of New York, located in Harlem, where he is working towards his Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) in Jazz Performance. Zach has always been on his grind musically. His music education did not come in the traditional manner. He found performance opportunities on his own. Zach has performed at The Jazz Spot in Brooklyn, NY, The Brooklyn/Queens Conservatory, Boys and Girls Harbor NY, and New York’s Jazz Standard with such jazz notables as Jeremy Pelt, Steve Wilson, Seleno Clark, Walter White, and David “Fat Head” Newman to name a few.
Zach releases one free style a week on an old skool hip hop beat to build up the momentum of his soon to be release ‘In My Own World’.
