About Me

I'm an American living in a new country every 30 days that can teach you how to make house music and techno in Ableton Live like the pro's. I specialize in House, Techno, and Tech-House but can teach any genre in electronic music.

I recently attended and graduated from the best school in the world for learning Ableton Live and electronic music production, Icon Collective, based in Los Angeles.

I've recently released with some of the largest record labels in the world (Insomniac Records) and make music daily.

I have a masters in business and can also help with strategy on marketing and promoting your music.

In the last 6 months I've played my music for 100,000's of people, opening for producer/DJ's like Chris Lorenzo, Matroda, Chris Lake, and Fisher.

***FREE BONUS***
I will give you high-quality samples that I've invested tens of thousands of dollars in for free, up to the value of your lessons, for example if you spend $1,000 I will give you $1,000 worth of high-quality samples for your genre included for free with the lessons.

Education

Icon Collective - Masters in Electronic Music Production (USD $48,000 investment)
Florida State University - MBA, Focus on Internet Marketing
University of South Florida - Double Major, Communication + Political Science
University of South Florida - Minor, Feminism

Experience / Qualifications

I've had a select few students in the past two years that I'm now very close to, and still teach today.

Many have gone on to release with major labels and play their music for large crowds of 25k+.

I have scaled and sold a few businesses and am incredibly business savvy, so I can help discuss marketing and promoting your music as well if needed.

My current "day job" aside from music is working as a business consultant where I help CEO's scale their operations, sales, and marketing strategies.

Composing Music using computer software (any genre)
Composing your own music has always been a very rewarding task. This has never been so true as the present day when you can hear what you compose instantly by using computers to generate and play back your own music. However, to ensure that your music sounds really great there are many principles to be considered. I have had a great interest in composing for over 40 years, composing in a wide variety of styles. Having been a music teacher in a comprehensive school for over 30 years, I have had a lot of very relevant experience in teaching composition to a wide range of different ages and abilities. The class will be personalized to your particular standard and chosen style of composition. If you are a complete novice and have not used computers to create music we can use a web-based programme or a free downloadable programme. On the other hand, if you are familiar with a particular programme that you have installed on your computer we can work through screen sharing and sound sharing to enhance your compositions using my experience. I will tailor-make the class to suit you.
