It's been raining a little bit off and on here in Azusa, and I haven't come out with a new original Smooth Jazz piece in a while (since my last album release), so I thought I'd record and develop this idea that I had, inspired by rain and relaxation. Peace and tranquility as God gives on the Shabbat (I recorded it on the Sabbath this week). Enjoy!

Rainfall

This is a short 30 second composition that depicts the woman in the photo. Composed for the Adam Audio composition competition. Please give it a listen and tell me what you think! Enjoy!

Enjoy this updated recording/mix of my composition, Rainfall, a piece I composed a few years ago. I decided to change up the solo and re-mix it with some different plugins and made numerous sonic changes. Enjoy!

Rainfall Remix

Here's a sample from Bo Steel's senior recital at Azusa Pacific University. A great Vulfpeck tune called "Funky Duck," feat. Aja Grant (vocals). Talk about a good time!

Funky Duck

Raw, rich with emotion, and transparent are the words I would use to describe this song, particularly after recording this cover. I love Les Mis and this is one of the best numbers in the whole musical. I did my best to capture my interpretation of all that goes in to this piece. Enjoy!

Bring Him Home

Sometimes when I'm bored I like to throw together a bit of a jam session in which I play all of the parts–it's quite good fun!

Funky Latin Jam

Had a blast working with Moxy Anne on this cover of Never Enough. I did a takedown/arrangement of the song and brought in my talented friend to finish it off on vocals. Take a listen!

This is a short demo reel featuring myself on keys (and drums and bass). The songs used are Higher Ground, Give Me the Night, a jazz improv in Gm, and the chorus lick from Chunky.

The Christmas Song

I am an audio engineer based out of Los Angeles currently working out of Hybrid Studios in Santa Ana as well as through my own mobile recording business. I specialize in studio and live sound, mixing, marketing, management, event production and coordination, and photography.

My work experience ranges from small student projects, full length studio albums, live festivals, concerts, and tours. I am often bouncing between work in the studio, live gigs, tours, and working on projects of my own.

Feel free to contact me if you'd like to get into the studio and make music! I'm always down to make good music and have a blast doing it!
