redeyezack & friends
A transnational live performance project — narrative-driven acoustic sets, built by moving continuously across five countries rather than staying put.
Started as a lyricist with a book of poems. Became a singer-songwriter/guitarist. Looking to be... a storyteller of substance.
RedEyeZack — Zack Qureshi — began performing on the streets of London, taken on as a deliberate challenge to break years of stage fright. The journey that followed, through Barcelona, Istanbul and India, pushed his songwriting toward something more evocative and philosophical. redeyezack & friends is what that journey became: not a fixed band, but a fluid live identity — solo, duo, or full collaborative "friends" configuration — shaped by whoever and wherever it meets next.
Road-tested in five countries, across three continents.
▶ Preview — "The Purpose Of Existence"Five hubs done. Next: India from mid-November, then Spain in spring 2027.
Each stop is a multi-city hub, not a single gig. With studio production now underway, the next legs are India from mid-November and Spain in spring 2027.
Hypnotic guitar. Poetic, transcultural songwriting.
An all-original 30-song repertoire: 20 (Sketches & Demos) already written, with 10 (Works In Progress) moving into full production with a UK producer now on board. "Secret Garden" releases October 30, 2026, with "Flying Free" following in December. First single already out: "The Purpose Of Existence," first in a planned trilogy written across Barcelona and Mumbai. Collaborations with traditional and ethnic instrumentalists and percussionists shape a sound built to connect with any audience, anywhere. Rights are handled properly from the outset — PRS royalty collection has been active for three years, with a handful of catalogue songs held back from release until their structures are finalised and registered.

This teaching leverage has managed to get me to this point. Currently looking to raise £20,000 to fund the 2nd 12-month circuit:
- Recording & Production
- Touring — year 2
- Content & Promotion
Come on the journey: investors, sponsors and partners.
Everything you see here was built from the ground up: teaching by day, playing by night, one city at a time. The next chapter is bigger: finishing the 30-song catalogue with a producer, taking the World Seeding Tour into its second year, and getting these songs onto screens and stages around the world.
I'd love to hear from angel investors who believe in where this is going, people who'd like to back individual songs as they come to life, and sponsors and brand partners who share the spirit of Peace, Love & Joy. The songs stay mine, and I'm looking for people who want to grow something real with me.
