Solo Compositions and Collaborations

I have always loved creating music. Music to me is like listening to a story being told. It could be dramatic, melancholy, uplifting, action-packed, tense or even slow and peaceful. It could be anything. Which is why it’s always fascinated me.

The audio performances consist of songs that have been composed/arranged and performed by me and may have had other guest musicians on the song or where I played as a guest guitarist on another artist’s songs. Also some of the songs were my own rendition of other songs. Styles represented run through several genres: jazz, blues, rock as well as acoustic guitar styles.

Thanks for listening!

Musical Collaborations

The following is just a few songs written and arranged by Christian musician Erin Reilly in which I contributed my guitar work over the last couple of years. Erin, a talented singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, writes in a uniquely sophisticated blend of varying musical genres, from jazz to hard rock. She weaves into each song the timeless message of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I just recently finished work on her second album. To learn more about Erin’s incredible music and much of my work with her plus the guitar-predominant demos of her songs, visit my blog article about our collaboration.






These recordings were songs composed by British artist, Paul Whitwam (vocals, bass, keyboards, rhythm guitars) featuring my lead guitar work.




This is an excerpt from a song that I provided guitar work on a composition written and performed by Serbian musician Milos Trkuja.
