Diversely inspired by music from the legends of classic rock, (Led Zeppelin, Queen, U2) to the more contemporary sounds and production of (Coldplay, Daft Punk, and Kanye West), Zander Bleck has blended his powerful singing and songwriting talent with the top production of Adam Longlands of the Matrix Group to create a phenomenal mix of vintage rock, pop and electronic sounds.
In 2003, Zander moved from rural NJ, to New York City to pursue his passion for the arts, and break into the entertainment industry as a model and actor. His unique good looks, creative mindset, and unwavering determination resulted in Zander traveling the world with modeling jobs for clients like Diesel, Armani, and Energie, and features in countless publications such as GQ, Vogue, and Vanity Fair.
Having successfully reached the top tier of the modeling industry, Zander knew it was time to hone his unique skills and decided to channel all of his creativity and energy into his true passion for music. Zander dedicated the following two years to developing his voice, song writing, and frontman live performances with his band Monument. Zander’s perseverance culminated in significant interest from some of the top major record labels. A major label record deal was initialized for Zander, and although he realized the tremendous benefits of the major labels, Zander's foresight of the changes in the traditional music industry spawned a life and career altering decision.
Zander sensed the changing of the tides in the music industry and decided to utilize his entrepreneurship to forge ahead without a major record label. Utilizing creative ideas with the latest technology, and marketing techniques, as well as word of mouth promotion to get his music out to the world, Zander has set out with the immense benefit of keeping complete creative control; remaining true to the artist he desires to be.
Since deciding to pursue the independent artist route in August 2008, Zander has released an amazing 5 song EP, created an innovative music video for “Get Up”, and a web based reality show. Zanders' debuted as a solo artist at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Tavern on the Green event September 4, 2008.
Zander Bleck is on a mission to push the boundaries of the current music industry and deliver innovative, top-level art to the public.

Mercy Me
Zander Bleck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you right next to me
Wish I was your destiny
But you never wanna give it a chance no
Oh tell me why
Do you play with my emotions
Your heart′s cold as the ocean
And I'm diving head first again
Cause you′re never coming back to me
And I'm always running back to you
I keep on trying
You keep on smiling
Say you never know what you want
Say you never know what you need
Baby baby please
Mercy me
Mercy mercy mercy me
Mercy mercy mercy me
I need it I want it
You tease me you flaunt it
Baby I'm on my knees
Mercy me
Girl you play it so innocent
But your eyes tell me different
As your body′s moving close to mine
Oh tell me why
You do this to me every time
Gain my trust then flip on a dime
And you′re leaving with another man
Cause you're never coming back to me
And I′m always running back to you
I keep on trying
You keep on smiling
Say you never know what you want
Say you never know what you need
Baby baby please
Mercy Me
Mercy me
Well I need it
I want it
You tease me
You flaunt it

The chorus repeats the phrase "mercy me" as a plea to the woman who keeps him running back to her despite her consistent refusal to fully commit to him. The singer begs for mercy in his vulnerable state, wanting her to show him the love and affection he deserves.
