Zach Top at 'Stars and Strings'

Inside the Hard Rock Artist Lounge at our 'Stars and Strings' show in Hollywood, FL, we had a lot of laughs with Audacy 'LAUNCH' artist Zach Top. From field goal kicking with Pat McAfee to this 9-year-old talent that you probably never knew he had, TC & Dina B talked with Top about it all. When asked if there's something that people don't know about Zach Top that he would like them to know, Zach took his time before revealing his special skill. "I'll tell you this, I used to be able to hold my breath for a long time and swim underwater," he says proudly. "You're laughing, but I was something else. There wasn't another damn 9-year-old that could swim 200 meters with their breath held." "I don't know if [I'm a] fish but amphibious definitely nicked me. I was maybe a little bit amphibious, at least." Add that to the list of Zach Top conspiracies. One thing that's not up for debate though is Top's success and it culminating in 5 CMA Awards nominations for this month's show. "It's cool to see all of your peers and other industry members, people that are in the same business as you giving you a pat on the back and being like, 'hey man, you're doing a good job,'" says Zach. "Feels really, really nice. I'm very, very thankful for it and I hope I just keep working hard and trying to keep on putting out good songs and singing okay and playing okay and, I'm just very thankful that people really enjoyed. It means a lot to me and I love doing this so the fact that other people enjoy it too it means the world to me."
