I wouldn’t be the guitar player I am today without Simba. I’m always excited to go back for another lesson. Highly recommend Simba to anyone trying to learn guitar or elevate their playing. Top notch!

Zach is an excellent musician and guitarist, but what truly sets him apart is his ability to connect with people and bring enthusiasm, professionalism, and good humor to everything he does.

Simba is an amazing entertainer. Whether he’s rocking a live music set, hosting a high-energy karaoke night, or simply dropping by to greet familiar faces, he brings warmth, charisma, and a genuine love for connecting with people. His ability to make every guest feel seen—always remembering names and stories—creates an unforgettable, personal experience. He brings both heart and fun to every performance.

Simba has grown my passion for playing while accommodating my specific learning style. He has helped me find the best and most effective way to express myself as a songwriter.

As a sound engineer, bands tell me not only did he get the job done in a smooth, efficient manner, but also just good energy to be around and work with. He has a good handle on tuning a room to avoid feedback and the technical knowledge to assist with complex setups.

Waredaca had hired Simba prior to my running their talent program. From our first interaction, I knew that he was someone who would continue to grow with us at Waredaca. Since then, I have made Simba a resident musician playing here at least once a month. He is also our top recommendation for private events at our venue. This year, our relationship grew to the point where I became one of his guitar students. I would recommend him to anyone looking to expand their skill set or picking up an instrument for the first time.
