Hi, I'm Brett JAB Cripe, an award-winning composer, arranger, and trumpet virtuoso with a passion for using music to inspire and heal. I've been fortunate to tour as a soloist from a young age and have performed at renowned venues like Carnegie Hall. Since 1992, I've been using my skills as a certified music therapist to help marginalized communities across the US and Europe. Currently, I serve as Music Director at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Orcutt, CA, where I lead a talented team of musicians and produce diverse musical programs. I also run my own music therapy practice, Empowering Lives through Music, offering personalized therapeutic interventions. Music is my way of connecting with people and making a positive impact, and I love mentoring aspiring musicians through workshops and lessons.
