LESSONS

Interested in learning guitar? Drums? Music theory? I can be that guy at an affordable price! I have a degree from Berklee College of Music which really just means I studied under renowned music professionals with years of experience and wisdom. I will channel their and my wisdom, knowledge and techniques to you and we will have lots of fun! My main teaching experience comes from the two class I taught at CCAE (Cambridge Center for Adult Education) for beginner guitar. We had a lot of fun and my students walked away being able to play two songs and name the notes on the E and A strings in just seven classes! This was truly one of the best experiences I've had and after hearing what the class thought I learned both what they loved about it and what I could've done better, so that I can be more prepared to teach you! I have also taught 5 private lesson students and I look forward to teaching you next! I'm based in LA and can either come to your house to teach, host you at my studio, or do online lessons if that is more convenient. We will become better musicians together and most importantly we will have fun and be creative! 

SONGWRITING

Writing songs is something I've been doing since I first picked up an instrument. I pride myself on my creativity and originality and have a big catalog of original songs... over 75 songs registered on ASCAP and many more that I haven't put on there yet! I use these songwriting and composition skills of mine to write songs for people as well! I recently wrote and recorded the theme song for a mountain biking group called "The Bombers" and that will be hitting streaming platforms soon. I can write music for any occasion. A loved ones birthday, a theme song for a film or show, a piece honoring someone you have lost, etc. Whatever the occasion may be, I want to help you capture the emotion behind the event in your life that inspired the song you want me to write. Because I know how hard it is to express these things sometimes. I do it best with music. 

PERFORMANCE

For 12 years now, I have been performing on stages all over the world from Los Angeles to Spain playing guitar, bass, drums, or singing. If you are looking for live music for an event, I provide many options. I can play my more laid back, jazz repertoire if you’re looking for something relaxing and high class. I can perform with my band Asanabenche, who provides an out of the box jazz-fusion sound, and I can also assemble a group of talented musicians for any event with my network. I work the most with Asanabenche performing our original "Bird Music". We play all over LA and are readily available for shows. Additionally, I would gladly learn whatever covers you may suggest, so no matter the occasion I can play! 

Studio/live musician for hire

I have played for many people throughout my time at Berklee and beyond, learning songs whether they be other people's originals or new versions of well known songs. One time I had to learn four hours of Christmas songs in two weeks (some guitar some drums) to then go play a gig on guitar for my friend who does pop music. A four hour gig in the day and a pop gig at night! Fun stuff! So yes I want to help you bring your vision to fruition and I learn quickly, so throw some sheet music at me or send me a recording and I can take it from there. I primarily do guitar and drums as those are the instruments I'm trained in, but have also been singing for 12 years, so I can provide vocals as well!
