## Resource

In this episode of the Waterproof Records podcast, I sit down with the incredibly talented Zach MacLachlan (aka Mac Glocky)—the mind behind those viral “what if this song was done by that band” videos you’ve definitely seen scrolling through your feed. From turning pop hits into heavy rock anthems to building a massive following through sheer dedication, Zach has carved out a lane that’s equal parts entertaining and seriously impressive. But behind the viral moments is something deeper—a real musician putting in real hours to bring these ideas to life. We discuss how authenticity still cuts through in a world of trends and algorithms, and how he feels about modern music creation—where new tools, shortcuts, and generative tech are changing the landscape. This isn’t about tearing anything down—it’s about highlighting the value of craft, passion, and the human element in music. The kind of stuff you can’t fake. If you love music, creativity, or just seeing someone really put in the work to master their craft… this one’s for you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
