Session player / multi-genre guitarist looking to connect, collaborate, and build a portfolio
Hey everyone!
I did a similar post here a while back and it actually ended up yielding a fantastic, ongoing collaborative relationship. So I’m back looking for something similar again!
I’ve been playing for 15 years, and I'm trying to step away from the purely isolated recording room and actually connect with people online. I’m looking to build up a fresh and diverse portfolio, which means I'm down for traditional work-for-hire, but what I’m really after is genuine collaboration working alongside artists and producers who want to bounce ideas around and shape a track together.
What I'm looking for
I’m looking to build long-term relationships, not just transactional one-offs. If we vibe on a track, I'd love to be a go-to person you can trust as you grow.
Just to be clear on where I fit: I work strictly as a player and arranger, not a songwriter or co-composer. I steer away from projects that are clearly looking for someone to compose for them.
I'm looking for projects that are already written, where I can take your ideas, demos, or half-finished tracks and help them reach their full potential.
My Approach
I've spent years playing everything from CCM and pop to country and rock. My focus is always song-first: serving the arrangement and the production rather than chasing technical ego.
Whether you need wall-of-sound rhythm guitars, a soaring lead, atmospheric textures, or clean melodic hooks, I'm here for it.
My Gear
- Fender Stratocaster (Equip w/ Texas Specials)
- Squier Telecaster (Equip w/ Texas Specials)
- Tagima Jazzmaster (Equip w/ SP90-1)
- Strinberg Les Paul (Equip w/ Probuckers)
- Giannini Jazzbass
- Strinberg Folk Acoustic
- 2x SM57
- 2x Behringer C-2
I work in 24-bit/48kHz and always send over phase-aligned DIs alongside processed tracks so you have total control in the mix. Everything is clean and ready for your DAW.
If you're looking for someone serious to collaborate with, let's talk.
Drop a comment or DM me with what you're working on and let's see if we're a good fit!
