William Cary Zucker (Bill Zucker) was born and raised in Springfield Massachusetts and started creating music at the age of nine years old.  Doing piano recitals, he was sometimes referred to as a child prodigy.  At the age of eleven, Bill got his first drum kit and starting his first garage band called “The Divided Line.”  He played with his friends until the age of fifteen when he picked up his first guitar, and within one hour he wrote his first original song “Show Me” about his first love.

The guitar was perfectly suited for Bill because he could take it with him wherever he went.  Through high school he played concerts and events, as a solo acoustic guitarist and vocalist he often drew encores.   Bill headed to Boston after high school to attend Berklee College of Music where he studied a variety of musical techniques.  After studying at Berklee Zucker grew restless, packed his guitar and headed west.  He settled in Breckenridge Colorado for a year or so before traveling on to Seattle Washington where he lived for three years and attended Western Washington College in Bellingham, Washington.  Zucker hosted his own campus radio show, was the front man and the electric fiddler for a country-rock band “Colraine.”  Colraine toured across America to Bill’s home town and back.

From there Zucker ended up in Hollywood California, where he partnered up Ron Fair and together they wrote songs that were published by Paramount.  Bill landed a job at NBC where he was on the production staff of The Steve Allen Comedy Hour and Barbara Mandrell Show, while continuing to write and record his own music.

BZ put together his first professional touring band “Cruise Control” which later evolved into BZB “The Bill Zucker Band.”  BZB featured Zucker’s lead vocals, guitar playing, drum,  harmonica, fiddle, and keyboard/synthesizer abilities.  Throughout all of these years Bill was building a catalog of over 300 original songs. When one of Bill’s favorite local performing digs in Chicopee, Massachusetts went under Bill bought the night club and turned it into “Z Street.”  At Z Street he performed with Rick Derringer, Edgar Winter, and The Tubes as well as numerous other bands, artists and musicians.

On the next part of Bill’s life tour, he ended up in Philadelphia where he was signed in 2000 to a record deal with Sonic Records, and recorded a twelve song CD entitled “Millennium.”  Critics praised Zucker’s song writing talent, vocal ability and guitar prowess on his first professional CD debut.  BZ’s favorite tunes off of Millennium include “Angel of Love,” “Hypnotized,” and “Fall In Love Again.”  But unfortunately, the record company folded before the project could come to fruition.  Millennium was never properly released, distributed or promoted and faded into the ether.  The album can still be found lingering around on the Internet in obscure locations, as well as Amazon and Ebay.

BZ traveled next to the tropical breezes of Miami Florida where he currently resides, and subsequently wrote and produced THE TARP SONG.  Bill recorded the song at Audacity Recording in Hollywood Flordia. The song “I Want Some Tarp” a powerful political parody song (popularly known as “THE TARP SONG”) has become an overnight Internet sensation, it’s YouTube Music Video drawing over ten thousand of views a day and hundreds of comments in the first weeks since it was posted.

Bill next wrote and produced The Twitter Song and had another huge viral YouTube hit on his hands.  The Twitter Song is the Hilarious “twitter song” Parody By Bill Zucker w/ Scott Baio and Lydia Cornell about twitter facebook myspace addiction, Ashton Kutcher loves it

Fox’s Neil Cavuto says:

“The Tarp Song says in 3 Minutes what every Amercian is feeling and the song immortalizes the TARP forever.”

THE TARP SONG video was co-produced by Bill and his son Devin Tyler (another aspiring song writer) currently attending college in Rhode Island.  The buzz seems to just keep growing around the interent and some people are saying THE TARP SONG is the one of the funniest, and wittiest homegrown music videos currently on YouTube.  There is no doubt that Bill does a good job of taking the abysmal economic circumstances of Americans and turning it into something that makes them laugh, smile and even dance.
