A voice from Guildford.

Zachary Mason (real name Daniel Macintyre) is a UK-based singer-songwriter living in Guildford, Surrey. He began recording in March 2021 with a gifted recording kit — and hasn't stopped since, producing well over 200 demos across styles that drift from acoustic folk to glam rock.

His debut single "Special People" arrived in July 2023. Since then, he's charted on indie radio, been featured in SPIN Magazine, Rolling Stone en Español and The Big Takeover, and placed songs with sync supervisors in the US and Brazil. His latest single "Sweetheart" — a crashing, 80s-inflected rock track — features drummer Nate Barnes of Rose Hill Drive and bassist John Thomasson (Little Big Town, Grammy-winning credits).

Lyrics

Words that land.

ZM
She's got the kind of eyes that tell you everything
And a smile that pulls you close before you're ready
I've been around enough to know
That something like this doesn't come along
Sweetheart, you've got me
Caught somewhere between the thunder and the calm
Sweetheart, I mean it
Every word I say — I mean every one

From the 2026 single "Sweetheart" · All lyrics © Zachary Mason

Five, four, three, two, one
We're leaving everything we've ever known behind
The stars are cold but they're the only home now
This isn't bravery — it's survival
And I'm earthsick, earthsick
For a world I watched burn down
Earthsick, earthsick
For a ground I'll never touch again

From the 2025 EP "5…4…3…2…1…" · All lyrics © Zachary Mason

There are special people in this world
And most of them don't know it yet
They carry something the rest of us
Can barely see — but can't forget
You might be one of them
You probably are, if you're asking
Special people always wonder
Ordinary ones just assume

From the 2023 debut single "Special People" · All lyrics © Zachary Mason

Let's make
something real.
