Antonio Zarco is a Portuguese-American recording artist, vocalist, music producer, and audio engineer that's active across the modern music industry. In parallel with his work, he has built a respected presence as a recording engineer and audio editor within the a cappella community, valued for his musical instinct, technical precision, and vocal-first approach.His relationship with music began early. Singing from the age of five, Antonio spent much of his childhood immersed in choir rooms and studios, developing a deep understanding of vocal performance and ensemble dynamics. He later performed with distinguished ensembles including OAKE, CJMEA, NJMEA, and the NAfME All-Eastern Honors Choirs–formative experiences that sharpened both his musicianship and ear for detail.
At fourteen, Antonio joined The RockNRoll Chorus, a GRAMMY®-nominated touring rock 'n' roll vocal group. Over four years, he performed nationwide at major venues such as the Prudential Center, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Mohegan Sun Arena, and appeared on Good Morning America. During his time with the group, they released two studio albums–No Guilt Til Monday (2017) and The RockNRoll Chorus (2021). He later returned as a vocal coach, guiding young performers in developing confidence, control, and stage presence.Antonio earned his Bachelors of Science in Audio Production from The Los Angeles Recording School, where he refined his technical skill set and expanded his creative reach as a producer and engineer. His meticulous approach to production and engineering drew recognition from respected industry professionals including Stevie Mackey, Arty Schweky, Alex Angelo, Donnie Klang, JVKE, Luke Burr, and Raymond Salgado–early influences that helped shape his professional trajectory.
At the core of Antonio's work is a simple philosophy: music should feel intentional, human, and emotionally resonant. Every project is approached with the same objective–to create records that connect and leave a lasting impact.
