Zander a.k.a. Alexander Polatnick was born and raised in San Francisco, CA and first started producing music at the age of 15. At the time, he was inspired by Hip-Hop producers of the 90's and early 2000's like Dr. Dre, DJ Premier, Timbaland, and Kanye West, among others. 

"I typically make instrumentals that give room for the artist to make it what they want, rather than overbearing them with a beat that has too much going on.  I have both sample driven music and tracks that I made from scratch. Typically, I don't make music with one person in mind. Whatever I'm feeling goes into the beat, giving them a unique sound with inspirations from multiple genres."
