Zack Bia was born in New York City. Bialobos was raised primarily by his mother after their parents' separation, first in New York City and later in Los Angeles, California, where she relocated for work. Bia has openly clarified misconceptions about his family background, explaining that his father, a photographer, was minimally involved in his upbringing, contrary to false rumors suggesting his father held a prominent role at Dior (Olivier Bialobos is the Director of Communications and Image for Christian Dior Couture and Parfums Christian Dior). Growing up, Bia credits his mother with exposing him to diverse cultural influences, encouraging his interests in music, skateboarding, and magazine culture from a young age. He attended Beverly Hills High School, graduating in 2014, and subsequently enrolled briefly at the University of Southern California, where he was member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.

In June 2015, while attending the University of Southern California, Bialobos visited a nightclub in Los Angeles for the first time on his 19th birthday. At the club, rapper Fetty Wap invited Bialobos and his friends to join him. At the end of the night, a club promoter mistakenly assumed Bialobos was part of Fetty Wap's group and requested his contact information. Following this, Bialobos began receiving regular invitations to the venue and subsequently started earning approximately $100 per event for promoting weekly gatherings to fellow USC students. As his network expanded, Bialobos organized events attended by musicians, actors, and athletes. He later worked with John Terzian, co-founder of the H.Wood Group, to organize events at venues such as Delilah, where he became known for hosting private events with a no-photography policy. In 2017, Bialobos met the musician Drake while hosting events. He later made a brief appearance in Drake's music video for "Money in the Grave" and was referenced in the song "No Stylist" by French Montana and Drake. His presence in entertainment circles was noted during an episode of Apple Music 1's The Zane Lowe Show, where the hosts remarked that Bialobos was frequently mentioned in Hollywood conversations.

Bia appeared as himself in the basketball video game NBA 2K21. In 2022, Bia teamed up with Asics for a GEL-KAYANO 14 collaboration to celebrate the launch of his independent record label, Field Trip Recordings. Bia also collaborated with Beats by Dre to create a pair of speakers which say "past" and "present". In April 2023, Bia promoted his collaboration with Nike alongside Field Trip Recordings and Verdy. The shoes have the Field Trip Recordings logo along with “Ch1” and “Ch2” on the left and right shoe respectively. In 2026, Bia was announced as the commencement speaker for the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy. In 2026, Bia was included on Billboards Indie Power Players list as founder and CEO of Field Trip.

Collaborating with personal friends has been a consistent aspect of Bia's work. This is reflected in his relationship with director Cole Bennett, which he discussed in a video interview, noting the role of personal connections in creative projects. In 2023, Bia worked with his brother, Elan Bia, on a multi-part video series that showed aspects of his daily life. The series included candid moments, creative projects, and everyday interactions. Virgil Abloh served as an early mentor to Bia, highlighting the value of maintaining personal connections. Public appearances and media coverage have connected him romantically with Madison Beer, Madelyn Cline, and Olivia Rodrigo.

Field Trip Recordings was established to provide a formal platform for emerging artists introduced through Bia's events. Rapper Yeat was among the initial artists signed by Bia to Field Trip Recordings. Bia discovered Yeat's music early, developing a close bond long before officially signing him.
