Carl is a multi-instrumentalist who composes, arranges and teaches. His love for many different genres has led him to include all types of sounds in his music, focusing most of his time on jazz/fusion and cinematic scores. Listen to his music here and check back often for updates on his most current projects.

I tried, but I can not deny the music in me. I try to escape it, to ignore it, to hold it, but it desires to be shared. So here is a small tidbit of it. Stacks of unfinished lyric & melody notes await me. the raw unfiltered years of love &pain etched on paper reminding me of a life well lived & a love well tested. In the end love prevails. The children grown I can now recapture those memories holding on to my love even in rough waters.  Here's to Love. Love that shapes us. Love that makes us! :)

I used to be a musician, but now I am an actor.  I go by David Lee Hoss.  My nickname, as a youngster, was given me way before a band with a singer whose name is similar to mine, was famous.  I still dabble in music for fun.  Usually short ideas banged out on my laptop. I Play: Guitar first, keys second, programs and samples are fun. but I began in a band, then Analog Producer/Engineer. Dash machines next.  Totally skipped ADAT, Strait into ProTools, Logic, Ableton etc... My belief is the market is saturated, the industry is still in control, play what you like and avoid businesses that claim to get your music played to top producers.  Beware of award shows.  They cost you money for a cheap trophy and a couple of day's recognition.  If you are good and have a following, the big league will find you. My opinion only!

Songwriter/Musician/Vocalist/Multi-Instrumentalist/Recording and Mastering Engineer/Arranger/Producer/Worship Leader and Minister

This is a catalog of my original songs, some secular 1970-1981 and the rest Christian worship and special music. 

I just wanted to get these songs out and have a platform and resource to direct listeners to and also to archive my past works.

I've been a professional music since 1970 and played in a couple secular groups, The Marlay Brother's Band, Montanna, and Blue Magnum. In 1981, Taos, NM, I gave my heart and life to the Lord and have been leading worship and even served as Associate Pastor. My life and music is now dedicated to honor and glorify the Lord and to bless and minister to the body of Christ.

I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, the Lord, His Holy Spirit, His Word and hope it all reflects in the content of my Christian material. My older and secular songs are just for archiving and I have even rewritten some of them into Christian songs. I consider it an honor and a privilege to share this music with you and hope that it ministers grace to the hearer.

My older songs serve only to show where I was, where I came from and what the Lord has done in me and brought me to. Everyone past, I accept and embrace the fact that i was a sinner and I have been saved by grace through Jesus Christ. I have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb and rejoice that my name is now written in the "Lamb's Book of Life". To God be the glory forever and ever!
