When Raleigh native Zack Johnson (Leesville High School) was playing drums in shows throughout the Carolinas, he was always the business guy - the one who didn't want to just jam out, but he also wanted to figure out how to build a music empire. After touring with acts like Afroman and ending up in Los Angeles, he started Empire Agency, which represents musicians and athletes. In 2020, Zack and his growing family came back home, and he's now helping local musicians take their genius to the next level.
