ZADAR Official

ZADAR is the sound of a beautiful place echoing through pain.

Born in a bedroom during the early days of COVID lockdown, ZADAR emerged from the emotional wreckage of personal grief, family collapse, and global isolation. Its name pays homage to both a post-punk nightclub in New Hope, PA—where the artist’s parents once danced through their twenties—and the ancient Croatian city by the Adriatic Sea. This duality—darkness and light, ruin and beauty—sits at the core of ZADAR’s music and visual art.

Antonio G, is the founder and main songwriter/performer in Philadelphia's local independent "dark music" group, ZADAR. In the five years since the project’s inception, Antonio has accumulated numerous positive reviews, press articles, interviews, playlist additions, and radio/podcast plays based on the strength of his first five singles; Alien Being - Single Version, The Upstairs Room, Crimson Pain, Julie, and Halos On The Moon Ft Isa Nielsen.
