Thank you for viewing my profile. I offer solo Jazz Guitar to add a touch of class to any event. My repertoire is comprised of Jazz Standards from the great American songbook and pop tunes from the 60s through the present. I was born in the late 1970s so I tend to focus on pop tunes from the 80s and 90s. I've played since I was 5 and have a lot of professional experience from being a military musician. If you need a guitarist who can read music, is easy to work with and is focused on making you sound amazing, please call me.

Hello there! I am super friendly and very flexible. Music is my absolute passion so I put a great amount of time and energy into being the best professional percussionist I could possibly be! As far as experience... I started my formal education and performance as a marching percussionist, eventually extending myself to perform and work with various groups such as jazz bands, choirs, symphony orchestras, and percussion ensembles. I soon earned the opportunity to travel with my high school symphony orchestra and wind ensemble to New York City and perform in the prestigious Carnegie Hall! At 18, I began working as a coach, teaching music to high school marching bands, drumlines, and percussion ensembles. After teaching for two years I began my career as a Professional Studio Percussionist. Currently I play drums and percussion in my own personal band as well as a few singer/ songwriters all based in San Diego.

I'm the best new young rapper out of nyc, the next big thing I write and produce all my own music if u need a beat get at me

I'm a 32 year old songwriter in Los Angeles. I've made my money as a musician over the last ten years by writing and licensing songs and playing live. I play guitar, bass, piano, flute, harmonica and little sax. My songs are ragtime blues tunes with a dark overtones, both musically and lyrically -- Bill Broonzy meets Harry Nilsson. I play solo or with a trio (upright bass and drums).

My performance style is very high energy. My music incorporates R&B/Pop/Hip Hop elements and I like to bring that to the stage. I'm good for any event or venue, rather it be performing with my dancers in a large arena, or simply sitting on a stool with a microphone and putting on an intimate performance with just my acoustic guitarist. I'm an up and coming artist in Los Angeles, but I'm passionate about what I do.
