2018 Oklahoma Arts Conference

Panchromatic: Spectrum of Possibilities

Zac Maloy
Zac Maloy is an acclaimed, award-winning songwriter/producer whose songs have been featured on numerous albums, including the 2018 summer hit “Floatin” by Uncle Kracker, currently climbing the country charts. Maloy is the former front man of The Nixons, a band that released three albums on MCA/Universal Records including “Foma,” which yielded the chart topper "Sister,” an eventual crossover Top-40 hit that saw heavy rotation on MTV. The band toured relentlessly, completing worldwide tours with Radiohead, Soul Asylum, No Doubt, Kiss and Bush. Maloy later signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV, and one of his first cuts was "Used To" on Daughtry's eponymous first album, which went six-times platinum worldwide. This opened the door for Maloy to score singles in a range of genres, including Carrie Underwood's number one single, "Temporary Home," and Skillet's number one single, "American Noise." Maloy is currently signed to Warner Chappell. He has had over a hundred cuts with artists like Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Halestorm, 3 Doors Down, Jake Owen, David Cook, and more. Maloy won a Dove Award for best rock song with “Good To Be Alive” by Skillet. He’s also recently launched two exciting new musical ventures—
the successful Oklahoma Songwriters Festival and Studio Automatic. Studio Automatic is a website and online recording studio that offers anyone the chance to have their songs recorded at the highest level.
