Zach Bryan Reveals the Very Special Person Who Gets a Royalty Cut From Every Song He Records: ‘He’s the Reason!’
Bryan opened up about the sweet gesture during last month's rambling, two-hour On the Porch podcast chat with Matthew McConaughey.
Zach Bryan, the Oklahoma-raised singer and military veteran, revealed during a recent interview with Matthew McConaughey that his former commanding officer, Leo Alba, receives a cut of royalties from every song Bryan records. This gesture stems from Alba's crucial role in helping Bryan record his 2019 debut album, DeAnn, while he was still enlisted in the Navy.
Bryan, now 30, credits Alba for believing in his ability to pursue a music career and for inspiring him to record songs. Alba's children even refer to him as "uncle," and Bryan makes it a point to give Alba a percentage of royalties from each song he releases, a testament to the deep impact Alba has had on his life and career.
