I can teach music production for beginners
Music is my 24/7. I have strong beliefs that as a musican it helps to be self-suffciant, so I believe music technology is paramount in reaching that aim. I have recorded and worked with musicians for over 30 years.

I have a 20 year working background in live sound, music technology retail, seo and marketing, music performance, and large scale project management.
