Available to hire
Hi, I’m Al Albert, a guitarist by training and a multi-disciplined content creator based in Mission Viejo, CA. I design and handcraft custom ergonomic solid-body electric guitars, bridging woodworking, electronics, and performance to deliver instruments tailored to each player’s style. I also compose, perform, record, and edit my own music to promote my brand.
Over the years I’ve worked across the Philippines and the US as a sound engineer, producer, VO artist, and video editor, running my own studio and partnering with clients to bring their projects to life. I love blending traditional craftsmanship with modern multimedia to deliver compelling audio and visual experiences.
