With every event, we also host a demo listening party, and have had a fair share of collaborations and tracks signed from our events.
Since launching Open Door Sessions, magic has been created among the attendees and our community — from countless booked gigs, networking opportunities, partnerships, to tracks signed onto labels like Armada, Reaching Altitude, Sloth Acid, and Play Me Records.

Born and raised in Seattle, Christian Zabala devoted much of his childhood to playing basketball with his family or dancing to MTV music videos. He hoped to one day play in the NBA or to become the sixth member of *NSYNC. His ambitions dimmed once he realized that playing in the NBA took an certain amount of athleticism and height…and then… *NSYNC broke up. Christian recovered from his shattered dreams, finding solace by developing an interest in DJ’ing and music production which led to playing at various venues in the Seattle area and collaborating with local artists.
After graduating from Seattle University, he worked at PlayNetwork helping shape the sound of in-store music for Starbucks, NYX Cosmetics, Adidas, Alaska Airlines, and small businesses. Upon moving to Los Angeles, he began working for Universal Music Publishing Group and clearing music for various films, shows, and streaming platforms.
Christian is now a music coordinator at Format assisting on projects such as Mike Flanagan’s upcoming Netflix series The Midnight Club and The Fall Of The House Of Usher, The CW’s In The Dark, Fox’s Call Me Kat, Netflix’s Ultraman, and various upcoming Marvel Disney+ releases.
