"I Miss You" is a single, released on March 1st, 2016. The song was written in July 2014 and recorded in August of the same year. It is the first single to be released since the 2014 album 'ZACHARY' and follows my previous single "Never Be."

"I Miss You" was not intially released as a lead single for an album, but just as a stand alone single. However, the song was 'upgraded' to be considered the lead single from my third album 'Escape," released in 2022.

In 2014 and 2015, I began working on a new album concept and recorded 8 songs for the new project that was never completed. The majority of those songs are included in the 2022 album 'Escape."

Blue Eyes

"Met In My Dreams" is a song and promotional single from my third album 'Escape.' "MIMD" represents my first attempt at something different, more electronic without vocals; just instrumentals. 

This song has a bit of a classical feel to it and was created when I was just messing around after playing some Beethoven and Handel. That sound, which is the main melody, seemed like something surreal to me. I had remembered hearing that melody in a dream, so it was neat to end up playing it and putting something together just by random. But, I wanted to take that "classical" sound and mix it with something more modern. The result is something fantasy; something magical; something that has existed but only in a dream. A sort of "electronic classic ballad."

Escape

Met In My Dreams

"Why" is the fourth single from my 2012 debut album, 'Black and White.' The song was originally a promotional single but it is one of my most popular to date! Therefore, I "upgraded" it's status to be considered the fourth single from 'Black and White.' A live performance at Cresson Lake Playhouse can be found on YouTube. It is the only one of my songs that I have performed live.

'Escape' is the title track of my third album, released in 2022. This song was initially produced in 2018 to accompany an animation film project conducted by my sister while in college. The video shows two fish - one black and one white - who live their lives together. At the end of the film, the two fish form the yin-yang symbol. This song is the soundtrack, created to match the moments throughout the video.

Hello and welcome to the official Sound Cloud page of Xaquiri (“Zachary”). 

Music is my artistic way of self-expression and finding my place and way in the world. I started off using nothing but a Dell computer, a USB microphone, and Audacity. 

If you're my student, I'm glad that you've found my music but I want to remind you that my music is for entertainment and our time in class together is meant for learning. I have no issue with you enjoying my music outside of school, but it needs to remain outside of our school. Thank you! :)

A once wanna-be pop star now high school teacher hoping that you will enjoy these “singles” that are 100% homemade.
