Available to hire
Hello! My name is Joe, I’m a classically trained guitarist and composer.
I am an award winning composer whose works have been performed internationally, and I have experience writing in both the live sense, such as for ensembles, orchestras, and soloists, as well as the music production sense, specifically for video games.
I arrange and perform solo classical guitar arrangements of video game songs on my YouTube channel and have expertise in arranging music for various instrumentation such as string quartet and solo piano.
