Real Topeka People is singer, songwriter and music producer Zach Wexelman of St. Louis, Missouri. Made from the basement of his home in STL, RTP effortlessly combines the the styles of Pop, Rock, and R n B to weave a storyline of the relentless pursuit of the all american dream against the landscape of the midwest. The name of the artist project originates from the legendary scene in "Almost Famous" when Russell from Stillwater while on the road and navigating the disillusionment of recent music stardom goes to a random party looking to engage with anything true or real and finds Real-Topeka-People. The name and quote represents the pursuit of real, no bullshit, midwestern authenticity in the face of the illusory which is at the core of this music and the persona of RTP.
