“I’m absolutely honored and want to extend a massive thank you to my fans for their unwavering support—your love for the music and what we do on the road means everything to me,” Zach expressed, clearly touched after receiving his award. “I’ve always dreamed of singing and performing for a living, and now I get to do that. Receiving this trophy is a beautiful reminder that we’re doing something right. Thank you so much!”
