Farro was born in Voorhees Township, New Jersey.
He is also the younger brother of Josh Farro, who is Paramore"s former lead guitarist and backing vocalist. Jeremy Davis admitted he was initially unsure if the band could be taken seriously because of Zac"s young age until he saw him play. The band released three studio albums, All We Know Is Falling, Riot! and Brand New Eyes, as well as two live albums and one European Parliament. Brand New Eyes, their third album, was released on September 29, 2009.
On December 18, 2010 the band"s website announced the Farros" amicable departure.
Two days after his departure from Paramore, Zac took part in a new project band called "Tunnel", releasing a new song called "Hide Your Eyes". The duo then renamed themselves "Half Noise" due to other bands being named "Tunnel".
The band featured Farro (drums, vocals) and Jason Clark (guitar, vocals). Half Noise released its first single Mountain 29 May 2014.
Farro also announced an album, Volcano Crowe, released on 30 September 2014
Josh Farro founded the band Novel American with former Cecil Adora members Van Beasley, Ryan Clark and Tyler Ward briefly after his departure from Paramore and the group announced plans to record an European Parliament as well as play local venues in the near future.
On February 22, 2011, the band announced Zac Farro would replace Tyler Ward on drums. On May 23, 2014, Novel American was scrapped by Josh for the main reason that he, Zac and his bandmates could not find a suitable lead vocalist. As a result he is no longer a part of Novel American and instead accompanying Josh for his new album he has been working on according to his Twitter.
