Specialties
With over 20 years of experience, my musical style draws from Spanish, Middle Eastern, Classical, Jazz and Blues backgrounds. I focus on creating a romantic feeling with emotional and artistic overtones.
I can sculpt my playing to your requests and excel at reading the mood of an event, playing music that will accentuate the feeling. I use a more intuitive and improvisational style than most traditional guitar players, often playing my own compositions. I play music from the heart. I am available for weddings, ceremonies, private parties and corporate events.
My strength lies in creating an atmosphere - a backdrop of music - that supports the emotional landscape of the moment. Having played with countless musicians in my life, I have come to see that music is about the ability to listen to others, to feel into your surroundings before making a sound. I hope to bring this quality to as many people as possible, and can honestly say that music is my life and the center of my being.
History
Established in 2010.
For the last four years I have worked for Dj Saint Patrick, now known as Golden State Productions, but am now working for myself. I have provided live guitar music to some 50 weddings, some corporate events, and other forms of ceremony. This is the first year in which I take care of booking myself and am excited to move into this next phase. Cheers!
Meet the Business Owner: Richard W.
My musical history started way before the first guitar was handed to me, with me putting my ear next to my father's piano as he played, being mesmerized by the sensation of my body. I knew in that very moment that music would - one way or the other - play a central role in my life. In the 20 years of experiencing music through the guitar, I have found that no matter what the particular style of music I am playing is, I continually seek to be mesmerized, transformed, enchanted, ..."carried away" to some other place within me. No other mode of being has brought me closer to my authentic self, and it is from this place in me that I want to bring music into the world.
