About Me
Zac Craven is a genre-bending singer-songwriter whose life experiences across the Western Hemisphere shape the heart of his music. Fluent in Spanish after years of missionary work throughout Chile, Peru, and Mexico, Craven blends cross-cultural perspective with Southern-born storytelling, delivering songs that feel both intimate and expansive. With hundreds of original compositions to his name and performances spanning North, Central, and South America, his work resonates with audiences drawn to authenticity, depth, and emotional clarity.
Born and raised in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Craven grew up with a deep love for both sports and the arts. Before fully pursuing music, he was a standout left-handed pitcher, earning a Mississippi High School State Championship during his senior year and securing a place in the prestigious Mississippi High School Baseball All-Star Game. He went on to pitch at the collegiate and professional levels—discipline and resilience that continue to inform his work as an artist.
Craven’s academic background is as diverse as his travels. He holds an Associate of Arts from Jones County Junior College, a Bachelor of Arts in Intercultural Studies from William Carey University, and a Graduate Certificate in Christian Apologetics from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. His studies, combined with real-world global experiences, fuel the lyrical depth, spiritual nuance, and thoughtful craftsmanship that define his music.
A natural storyteller and performer, Craven has shared his songs across borders and communities—from intimate acoustic sets to dynamic shows influenced in part by the summer he spent with the Cody Nite Rodeo in Cody, Wyoming. His catalog reflects a lifetime of cultural immersion, personal transformation, and artistic exploration.
Today, Zac Craven continues to write, record, and perform with the same passion that has carried him from Mississippi baseball diamonds to stages across the Americas. His music is rooted in truth, shaped by experience, and driven by a desire to connect people through sound and story.
