Zach Henderson a.k.a. "Pantene" grew up in Grand Rapids Michigan. At an early age, Zach could hear songs and play them on piano without seeing a sheet of music. He started playing in bands, learned different instruments and taught piano lessons before graduating high school. Since then, Zach has earned a living playing in piano bars, award winning cover bands (NineMileSmile, Great Scott), Entertainment Corporations (Midwest Dueling Pianos) and has also joined original projects (Edison Kitt and the Strangers) lending powerful vocals and fiddle. Zach currently lives in East Lansing where he studies composition with the Grammy Nominated Venezuelan Composer Ricardo Lorenz, and classical piano with Dr. Tamar Mikeladze at MSU's College of Music. During his free time, he likes to play tennis, go mountain biking, and write/arrange music for string quartets, bands, and corporate organizations.

In spring of 2022 I received my Bachelor's degree in music (Orchestral Strings Performance) from university of California, Northridge. As of now, I am continuing my studies to obtain a master's degree in the same area. During my studies, I have performed with orchestras and collaborated with music bands in different genres. My passion for music has made me go beyond the courses offered at the university and will always try to go even further. Anything related to music is fun to learn and even more fun to teach. At the same time, Music requires focus, attention, dedication and practice. If you already have being learning music and enjoying it, I encourage you to never stop and dig in more, as the music is a never-ending world. And if you are just picking up the instrument and have a purpose for it I would like to congratulate you on your decision. Regardless of your background, there's always a unique and effective way to teach each of you. I will be delighted to teach and help you.
