Siphoning precise raps through a battlefield of distorted guitars and glitchy hues, ZERO 9:36 holds up a mirror in his music and beckons reflection. The Philadelphia post-genre sonic insurgent, singer, creative, and rapper rhymes with the force and fire of a prizefighter. After grinding under-the-radar for years and augmenting his signature style with frequent collaborator and producer No Love For The Middle Child, he was signed as the flagship act of ATCO Records. Powered by highlights such as “Leave The Light On” and “WWYDF,” the ‘You Will Not Be Saved’ EP introduced him while generating 70 million-plus streams.

On its heels, he joined forces with grandson on “Again (Text Voter XX to 40649)” in addition to dropping the acoustic ‘Barebones Vol. 1’ EP in 2020. His EP ‘…If You Don’t Save Yourself’ was released at the beginning of 2021 and instantly caught on. The single “Adrenaline” hit #1 on Mediabase’s Active Rock airplay chart and stands as the #2 most played at the format that year. ZERO toured hard and continued releasing steady hits on an endless tour cycle. Tracks like “Stuck In My Ways,” “Break ft. Atreyu,” and “I’m Not” caught listeners’ ears live and brought them into his world. Upon release, Loudwire raved, ‘I’m Not’ is a banger with ZERO 9:36’s nimble lyrical flow playing out over tribal drums and a wall of guitars and electronic backing.” ZERO’s latest releases “I Felt It All” and “The Fear” have become fan favorites and mainstays on stations like SiriusXM Octane

After a long writing process with frequent collaborators Cody Quistad from Wage War, No Love For The Middle Child, and Landon Tewers from The Plot In You, in 2024 ZERO announced a new partnership with distributor OneRPM and released his third EP, ‘None Of Us Are Getting Out.’ Led by the heavily-streamed singles “I Felt It All,” “Kill Me,” and “Chasing Shadows ft. Brandon Saller of Atreyu,” the EP represented ZERO’s first release as an independent artist and saw immediate success at radio, charting top-twenty on the Active Rock charts and live as ZERO sold out packed clubs on his first headline tour of Europe and had audiences singing along opening for Hollywood Undead

When his first tour of Australia ended, ZERO went back into the studio with long-time collaborator No Love For The Middle Child, producer Jonathan Dolese, and others to craft a follow-up. In his own words, “A project that represents what these last few years have been like. Something special I made with my best friends, and with the help of some artists and producers I’m truly inspired by.” His fourth EP ‘They Were Always Here’ will be released December 12, 2025. Stay tuned for more.
