Zac Maloy is an acclaimed, award-winning songwriter and producer whose songs have been featured on numerous top-charting albums. Zac formed a band, The Nixons, while attending the University of Oklahoma.  After playing hundreds of local shows they began to tour regionally, then across the country. Several radio stations began playing the band’s indie album which led to offers from multiple record labels.  The band inked a deal and released three albums on MCA/Universal Records.  Their first album, Foma, scored Rock hits "Wire" and "Happy Song."  Their 3rd single from Foma, "Sister,” reached the top of the Rock charts and eventually crossed over to Top-40 with heavy rotation on MTV. The success from Foma paved the way for several more chart toppers, including the Rock hit “Baton Rouge” and Zac's solo release "Early Morning Phone Call."   The Nixons toured relentlessly and quickly developed a reputation as one of the hardest working bands of their genre, completing worldwide tours with Radiohead, Soul Asylum, Kiss and Bush. 

Once The Nixons went on hiatus, Zac began writing and producing for other artists. After writing for and producing several rock projects, Zac signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV and decided to take writing more seriously.  Sony tapped Zac as a writer in large part because of his unique ability, as a former artist, to relate to artists out there living the life Zac knew well. One of his first cuts after signing to Sony was "Used To" on Daughtry's eponymous first album, which has gone five-times platinum worldwide. This opened the door for Zac to score singles in a range of genres, including Carrie Underwood's # 1  single "Temporary Home," and Skillet's #1 single "American Noise."  This success solidified Zac’s move into the songwriting world and prompted a relocation from Oklahoma to Nashville, TN. Now viewed as a multi-faceted writer, Zac is called upon to write a wide variety of music from Carrie Underwood to Uncle Kracker; Tim McGraw to Shinedown; Halestorm to Blake Shelton. He is currently signed to Round Hill Publishing.

Zac and the original lineup of The Nixons have reunited and are back touring and releasing new music. They did some headline dates, along with opening for the Smashing Pumpkins. As well as a nationwide tour with Everclear. The band released a new EP, Kaleidoscope and will be announcing exciting tour info for 2023 soon.

Zac continues to write and currently has songs out including the Shinedown singles “Atlas Falls” & “Dead Don’t Die” which both hit number 1. His most recent #1 song is “Blood in the Water” which he co-wrote with rising star Ayron Jones. He also has songs on releases by Dorothy, Black Veil Brides and Lilith Czar’s single, “Anarchy” which just achieved #1 status on Billboards recurrent rock chart.
