About Me
Member Since 2014 | Views: 231
I am a professional session musician with years of pro experience in LA and Nashville. I graduated from Musicians Institute with a degree in guitar performance, GIT, and a minor in Recording Engineering, RIT. Immediately upon graduating I began working for Disney pictures in Hollywood and worked on 6 major motion pictures, both behind the camera, and on the soundtracks (example: Pirates of the Caribbean; At Worlds End). I moved to Nashville in 2007 where I began a successful career in both session work and touring. I have toured/recorded with artists such as Willie Nelson, Shooter Jennings, Lady A, Uncle Kracker, Winona Judd, Luke Bryan, Darius Rucker, and many others. My main instrument is Electric and Acoustic guitar, but I am a credited session player available to do tracks for electric and acoustic guitar, lap steel, mandolin, banjo, and bass guitar. I am also trained and have mixed and mastered many Nashville and LA projects that I have played on as well. I am trained professionally on both Pro Tools and Logic. I am currently head engineer at Brookwood Church Studios in Simpsonville, SC where I am in charge of mixing and mastering voiceovers, film spots, tv spots, and dvd mastering of all services. I am trained in all styles in the session environment and definitely feel that I have a great understanding of country, rock, and pop music. I am currently looking for as much session work as I can get and the next big challenge in the recording studio! I love every second of working and tracking in a studio environment and absolutely thrive in post production studio projects.
I have been in the industry since 2006.
