Story

Born into a musical family, Michael Zepol’s path was destined for music from the very start. He picked up the guitar at just six years old and by twelve was already performing with his first band. His early dedication and grassroots approach quickly set him apart, earning him numerous musician awards throughout his youth. At seventeen, he signed his first major label deal, cementing his place as a rising force in the industry.

Zepol’s career expanded as both a performer and a creative force behind the scenes. He went on to write, produce, and sign with a second major label as part of the nationally touring rock act Waiting for Decay, and later did the same with the acclaimed soul group The Kozmo Kings under a third major label. These experiences solidified his reputation as a versatile multi-instrumentalist and an artist with deep roots across genres.

While his career as a performer has been remarkable, “Z’s” enduring passion lies in production and artist development. Today, as part of the A&R team at Renaissance Entertainment Company, he is focused on elevating new artists and transforming raw talent into market-ready acts. Splitting his time between Los Angeles, Austin, and his local studio in New Smyrna Beach, Michael continues to nurture the next generation of musicians with the same authenticity and drive that shaped his own journey.
