Available to hire
I feel at home with any style of music. Classical training, with band and touring as well as studio experience using cutting-edge technology, I have a musical ear and can tailor music and sound to what is needed.
As a teacher and coach, my aim is to get the best creative and professional results from each student, guiding them with Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Ableton Live, and other tools to read music, improvise, and develop their goals.
