Available to hire
Hi, I’m Uros Raskovski, a versatile guitarist, producer, and educator with over 29 years in production and 33 years on the road. I thrive on turning ideas into fully realized tracks across rock, metal, R&B, and pop, handling recording, editing, virtual instruments, and mixing with Pro Tools, Cubase, and a wide plugin arsenal. I also design curricula and lead college-level courses in theory, songwriting, and music technology, always aiming to help students and fellow musicians grow.
Beyond performing and producing, I’ve authored eleven textbooks on theory, ear training, and rhythm, and I regularly create video tutorials and lectures. My work has taken me from clubs and theaters to major tours and studio sessions, and I love collaborating with artists to craft soundtracks that tell compelling stories.
