Any Major Dude

I am a Boston, MA-based jazz/rock keyboardist and bassist with a passion for creating rich, layered cover song recordings in my home studio.

In my recordings, I bring every part of a song to life, performing all keyboard lines, strings, pads, marimba, glockenspiel, and celesta, while also laying down the bass on many of my tracks. By blending technical precision with multi-instrumental creativity, I reinterpret cover tunes in fresh, expressive ways, giving each song a unique voice. 

Whether exploring intricate jazz harmonies or driving rock grooves, my goal is to create rich, layered performances that capture the spirit of the originals while showcasing my own musical vision.
