Audio Clips

The following are audio clips of myself, and of my clients. I played all the instruments on all the tracks, except where noted. I also am the producer, engineer and mixer. My stylistic range is much greater than could be shown in this context. I know how to play and sing thousands of songs well in many styles.

I am comfortable producing any of these styles: pop, rock, metal, alternative, shred, prog, punk, blues, soul, gospel, R&B, rap, folk, country, trip hop, electronica, dance, new age, world, celtic, ambient, latin, etc. I understand and can play jazz, classical and big band music, but those are really a different mindset from other styles.

"Soft Claws"

This is a jingle for Smartpractice, promoting their product for YouTube placement. I co-wrote the song. The singer was a first time studio performer. But with some good voice coaching from myself the song came out well.
