ccMixter is a global community of cooperative musicians. Together, we create open-source music that people use all over the world. Because ccMixter is based upon collaboration, not competition, it is a uniquely positive place for us as musicians. 

ccMixter music is legally used in thousands of YouTube and Vimeo videos, Soundcloud remixes, mobile apps and games. 

All of our music (a cappellas, samples and mixes) uses Creative Commons licenses, which allow others to build upon and utilize our works, as long as they give us credit (and don't commercialize unless the license is CC BY). 

"ccMixter is the most prominent experiment in free music culture..." ~Lawrence Lessig

I am a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none musician. I like trying to play and compose virtually all styles and genres of music (with varying degrees of success), but unfortunately that means I’m not really an expert at any of them. 

My primary instruments are keyboards and guitar. I have been playing for most of my adult life - mostly as a hobby, but for a few years as a semi-professional guitarist in a Top 40 cover band. I’d say I’m better on the guitar, but guitar is much more of a pain to setup for recording so I tend to do more keyboard recording out of laziness.

I'm a big fan of the Creative Commons licensing model and intend to release all of my music under such a license. I am also a regular musician/producer at the Creative Commons remixing site ccMixter.
