Zach’s Childhood
He was born in Okinawa, Japan. Dewayne and Annette DeAnn Bryan, Zach’s parents, were stationed there as part of a U.S. Navy mission. His mother became a Certified Nursing Assistant, while his father served in the United States Navy. Bryan also has a sister, MacKenzie Taylor.
Zach was about twelve years old when Dewayne and Annette got divorced. After the divorce, Zach moved in with his father, who later got married again and was granted full custody. Zach, however, maintained a close relationship with his mother, who struggled with alcoholism and passed away in 2016 at the age of 49.
Zach’s family moved to Oologah, Oklahoma, which is close to Tulsa when he was in the eighth grade. His sister claims that he started playing the guitar in middle school. Bryan wrestled for the Oologah High School team and presided over the student council, so music wasn’t his only passion. However, he was intrigued by the concept of using songs to convey tales. “At the age of 14, my friends and I would make up these silly songs while we were hanging around, and I never thought I would be a musician“, he stated to The Oklahoman. “But I always wanted to write songs. That’s what I wanted to do: I wanted to be a songwriter”.
Bryan was also adamant about carrying on the family tradition—his great-grandfather, dad, uncles, and grandfather had all served in the U.S. Navy. At the age of 17, he enlisted.
Zach’s Early Life
Bryan joined the Navy as an aircraft ordnance man after graduating from high school. It was his job to load, disassemble, and repair firearms. Bryan served tours of duty in Bahrain and Djibouti while stationed in Washington and Florida. Regarding his duty in 2021, he remarked, “It’s all I lived, slept, and ate for eight years, it’s all I knew since I was basically a snot-nosed child“. “It really made me into a man“.
Bryan used his free time to record songs. In 2015, he started sharing music videos on the internet. In 2019, he collaborated with pals from the Navy to create his debut album, DeAnn, which is his mother’s middle name, at an Airbnb in Florida. 2020 saw the release of his second album, Elisabeth, which had his breakthrough hit, “Heading South“. With millions of views, the video that was taken in Bryan’s Navy barracks went viral.
Bryan, who is still serving in the military, made his stage debut at Nashville, Tennessee‘s renowned Grand Ole Opry in April 2021 as a rising star in the country music scene. Bryan declared shortly after that he had been granted an honorable discharge from the Navy, allowing him to focus on his musical career in October.

Other songs on the soundtrack include “Whiskey Fever,” “Flying or Crying,” and “The Good I’ll Do.” Bryan sang three songs from his Summertime Blues EP—”Motorcycle Drive By,” “Quittin’ Time,” and “Summertime Blues”—at a country fair in an episode of Yellowstone’s fifth season that aired in December 2022. Bryan described the feeling as one of being “Humbled and honored and don’t know what I did to deserve it.”
Zach’s Relations
According to Page Six, Bryan was married to Rose Madden, whom he met while in the service. The couple got hitched in July 2020 and got divorced in July 2021, one year apart.
