About Christopher
Hi! My name is Chris and I’m a professional guitar and bass player, songwriter and producer in Los Angeles. I’m originally from Las Vegas where I grew up in a musical family and have been in original and cover bands since a very young age; my earliest memory is standing on my dad’s Stratocaster when I was only a kid!
I am a Berklee College of Music Alumni with a degree in guitar performance, song writing and Music Production.
I had the privilege of working with multiple platinum selling artists including Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper amongst others. In the film industry I've done soundtracks, EPKs and more for Universal Studios, Hollywood Horror Nights, FOX, and L.A. Comic Con. Well-known film projects include The Walking Dead, HBO’s True Blood, Sons of Anarchy and more.
I also have 20 years of experience as a studio musician, recording projects, producing and mixing music and audio engineering, professional composition and arrangement.
As a teacher I have been teaching for almost a decade now and have trained a lot of students all over the country in playing bass guitar and guitar, songwriting and composition. Writing my own music and playing in multiple bands and fields prepared me for teaching all these different subjects. I have experience of teaching kids and adults, with a wide range of musical backgrounds. I try to solidify theory skills and musicianship in a fun and comfortable environment that will serve students in all their musical endeavors.
Let’s meet and make music together!

Whether you're a beginner and have not written a song before, or you have experience with writing melodies and want to improve your song writing skills, I can help you progress further in your musical journey!
My lessons are tailored specifically for my students based on their goals. That’s why during our free trial lesson we talk about your expectations so I can set up a lesson plan based on that.
Lessons will primarily emphasize technical and production aspects of music but through our lessons you will also learn how to improvise on your instrument if you play one.
Here is a summary of the topics that I cover during my lessons:
- Melody crafting skills to enhance your songwriting skills
- Music theory skills (harmony and counterpoint) for song writers
- Song structure (I-VCV-L/B-C-O)
- Develop existing melodic ideas into full songs
- Storytelling tools and personal expressions through lyrics
-How to overcome writers’ block
- Creating your unique musical identity (your own style and sound)
We will also spend some time listening and analyzing music of your favorite artists so that you get some insights from their writing styles to use in your own music.

Deadly! Christopher guided me excellent developing my song. He has great strategy making the song strong. He has great tools to teach songwriting from the very beginning. He also has a great work ethics I felt he really cares about my music and the artistry development.
Deadly! I recently started taking songwriting lessons with Chris because he’s been my guitar teacher for a while, he guides you through writing strategies in a simple yet affective way that it changes your idea of writing music forever. I never felt confident expressing my thoughts in the form of writing music but he helped me overcome the fear and come out of my comfort zone.

Chris is very patient and attentive. I already learned so much in a short amount of time. As a novice and without any musical background, he made me very at ease and comfortable since day one. 100% recommend!
I have been working with Chris for a couple of months now, and have noticed a lot of improvement in my guitar techniques, thanks to him The CAGED system finally made sense to me as he explains everything with patience. Thank you Chris!
