Zaddi Pesino – Music Producer

Zaddi Pesino is a Toronto-based music producer and the creative force behind XYZZE Records, an independent label focused on musical performances, songwriting, and music production. His work helps artists transform ideas into polished, expressive recordings through thoughtful production, arrangement, recording, and mixing.

Influenced by producers such as George Martin, Nigel Godrich, Danger Mouse, Rick Rubin, and Tony Visconti, Zaddi blends creative experimentation with a deep respect for songcraft. His production approach emphasizes authentic performances, strong arrangements, and cohesive sonic identities that serve each artist’s vision.

With a foundation in songwriting and a background spanning rock, pop, blues, soul, and jazz, Zaddi brings a musician’s perspective to every project. From early demos and topline development to final mixes, he collaborates closely with artists to create focused, dynamic recordings built to last.

In 2019, Zaddi collaborated with Derrin Emre, with their work exhibited at the Arta Gallery in Toronto’s Distillery Historic District. In 2023, he gained international recognition after winning a remix contest presented by Byta, PRS Guitars, and TRIONIQ (Jamiroquai). More recently, he produced the debut singles for singer-pianist LaSix.
