Performance: I have the experience of leading and organizing bands for occasions such as festivals, clubs, weddings, parties and the like. Size of band can vary greatly depending on room size and budget. Click on the videos page in the tab above to check out some performances and see what works best for your event!
Teaching: I offer bass and guitar lessons at my studio. Students of all ages and experiences levels are encouraged to contact me. Although I prefer in-person lessons, zoom/skype lessons are a possibility as well.
Composing/Arranging: I most often work with small jazz ensembles but can also write for big bands, symphonic orchestras, pop groups, and rock bands. I also can prepare music and lyric sheets for singers and instrumentalists that need sheet music for their bands through the transcription process.
Professional advice: As a successful professional artist, I often work with young players trying to establish themselves as well as current professionals who need help with budgeting, financial issues.
Transcriptions: I have transcribed hundreds of bass lines and solos in addition to works of other instruments. See the "Store" page for list of transcriptions for sale.
Film Scoring: My team is Spread between Los Angeles and Chicago. Most of the studio work is done at Remedy Recording Studio in Pilsen, Chicago. Lead composer, Dave Valdez, who lives in LA is the de facto go-between for directors and composers. His contact information is available upon request.
Studio work: As an excellent sight reader and well-rounded musician, I am available for contract jobs on temporary basis or permanent positions as an in-house studio bassist.
