Zack Tabudlo (born December 6, 2001) is a Filipino singer and songwriter currently signed with Mercury Records. He was first seen as a contestant on the first season of The Voice Kids under Bamboo Mañalac's mentorship, where he was eliminated in the competition's second round. He later began his musical career in 2018 before he rose to fame in 2020 when he joined MCA Music (now UMG Philippines) through sub-label Island Records Philippines.

His debut single "Nangangamba" was released in 2020. His song "Binibini" ("Young Woman"), released in 2021, broke a record as the top local song on Spotify's Philippines charts. His debut album, Episode, was released on October 15, 2021. His track "Pano" ("How") became the longest-running number-one OPM song on Spotify Philippines, the first number-one song to debut on the Billboard Philippines Songs chart, and charted in other Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

In 2022, Tabudlo became one of the artists signed to the Republic Records Philippines label under UMG Philippines. On February 20, 2022, he performed at the Expo 2020 Dubai. The following year, he released his track "Akin Ka" ("You Are Mine") in anticipation of his second studio album Zack: For All released on February 14. Aside from For All, he also released another album, Third Time's a Charm, that year.

Early life

Zack Tabudlo was born on December 6, 2001 to a music-loving family.[1] His father was a member of a band during his college days, while his sister and grandmother also possessed singing talents.[2] His mother, a hotel singer, gave him a guitar which he learned to play by watching YouTube videos.[3]

Music career

2014–2017: Singing competitions, Gravity, and Zack and Fritz

At the age of 10, Tabudlo competed and became a finalist on the televised talent competition Talentadong Pinoy.[4] In 2014, at age 12, he auditioned for the first season of The Voice Kids with Maroon 5's "Sunday Morning".[5] Only Bamboo Mañalac turned his chair, making him Tabudlo's coach by default.[6] He advanced to the Battle Rounds, where he, Rommel Bautista, and Gem Capalad performed The Jackson 5's "I'll Be There". Capalad advanced, while Tabudlo and Bautista were eliminated.[7]

His experience on The Voice Kids motivated him to continue performing.[8] His father encouraged him to channel his frustrations into songwriting. He then formed a singing group with other The Voice Kids alumni called Gravity, for which he wrote the song "Imposible," a pop track that explores unrequited love, and was a hit on local radio stations.[9] [10] The group eventually disbanded. He and Gravity member Eufritz Santos then formed a duo, Zack and Fritz. They released one song, "Ikaw ang Pangarap Ko," ("You Are My Dream") before also parting ways.

2018–2020: Ghost producing and beginning of solo career

Tabudlo then worked for two years with various foreign artists as a ghost producer. As a ghost producer, he never got any credit for his work, but did get an offer for residency in the United States, which he turned down. He eventually stopped ghost producing with encouragement from his father, who was now also his manager. His father also encouraged him to write more Tagalog songs. He continued producing songs with Jonathan Ong and Chris Anthony Vinzons of Sonic State Studio.

In 2019, Tabudlo wrote several songs including "Mahal o Biro" ("Love or a Joke") and "Umaasa" ("Hoping"). He then collaborated with Sharlene San Pedro on the song "Everything Will Be Alright". They collaborated once again on the song "Pusong Naliligaw" ("Lost Heart"), which they got to perform on iWant ASAP.

2020–2022: Breakout years, Episode, and Republic Records

In 2020, Tabudlo signed on to Spotify's RADAR program, which is aimed at helping local artists gain more recognition.[11] He also signed on to Island Records Philippines that year, becoming the first artist signed by the label.[12] [13] His debut single for Island Records was "Nangangamba" ("Worried").[14] It gradually gained listeners, then went viral on TikTok.[15]

It also made it onto other Spotify charts in other countries including Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Its success led to a new version featuring the vocals of James TW and new lyrics written in English.[20]

On its first week, two of his songs took the top spots with "Pano" claiming #1, and "Habang Buhay" claiming #2.[30] "Pano" went on to stay at No. 1 for eleven consecutive weeks.[31] Later that month, he performed in the Expo 2020 Dubai.[32] He then staged a free digital concert called "Sabihin Mo Na" ("Just Say It") on his YouTube channel.[33] On April 29, he released his single "As You Are".[34] He then toured the United States with December Avenue.[35]

On July 9, Tabudlo became one of the artists in the newly launched Republic Records Philippines label under UMG Philippines.[36] His first single under that label was "Yakap" ("Hug"), which was then followed by "Pero" ("But").[37] October of that year was a busy month for him as he released three music videos and also released singles featuring Indonesian singer Tiara Andini and Malaysian rapper Yonnyboii respectively.[38] More milestones also came for his hit "Pano", as it got its own music video and became the first Filipino song to enter Spotify Malaysia's Top 50.[39] [40] He also got to perform with LANY when the band held a concert in the Philippines.[41] On November 29, he released "Pinadama" ("Made Me Feel") which featured on the soundtrack of the film An Inconvenient Love.[42] He then closed out the year with a performance at the Head in the Clouds Festival in Manila.[43] For 2022, he was the most-streamed local artist in the Philippines. His music video for "Asan Ka Na Ba?" ("Where Are You Now?") was among YouTube Philippines's most-viewed music videos for that year, while "Pano" was the most-listened to song in the country on YouTube.[44] [45]

That year, he became the first Filipino male solo artist to achieve one billion Spotify streams.[50]

Tabudlo released several more solo singles in 2023 including "Delulu" (Filipino slang for "Delusional"), and "Ako Nalang Kasi" ("Just Choose Me Instead").[51] On October 14, he held a concert at Bonifacio Global City (BGC) to celebrate Episode's second anniversary of its release.

Artistry

Influences

Tabudlo has cited LANY, John Mayer, Shawn Mendes, Bamboo Mañalac, Ed Sheeran, and Charlie Puth as his influences.[68] For his second album, he cited more influences to his music such as James Brown, Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, Harry Styles, and Michael Jackson, and OPM artists April Boy Regino, and VST & Company. The American alt-pop duo joan has also been what he calls his "musical heroes" as he listened to their songs when he was going through his first heartbreak. He had actually wanted to produce music with them when he was 16 before getting the chance to work with them on the track "Superglue" in 2023.[69] He has also had several mentors including Moira Dela Torre and producers Jonathan Ong, Chris Anthony Vinzons, and Cleng Saturno.

Musical style

Tabudlo is described as having powerful and soulful vocals. His vocals are also multi-range, capable of going up to falsetto. He blends genres such as R&B, soft rock, funk and vocally driven pop. When writing songs, Tabudlo often focuses on his experiences. For his album Zack: For All, he focused instead on a specific sound and feel that he wanted. The songs he writes are often described as "hugot" songs, deeply emotional songs, making them relatable for audiences.[70]

Personal life

Tabudlo is currently in a relationship with his non-showbiz girlfriend. His girlfriend is the subject of his songs "Pulso" and "Feel This Way". He lives with two bulldogs.[71]

In 2020, Tabudlo started college at the University of Perpetual Help in Las Piñas. He was in his first year of college studying Mass Communication when he had to stop schooling as he got busier with his music career.
