    About Garrett L.

    5.0
    (2)
    I'm Garrett L., a classically-trained and performing DJ, producer, and audio technician. I attended Orange County High School of the Arts for 6 years, where I received a highly advanced music education in the classical piano department. Music Pedagogy was a requirement while there I taught music classes for K-3rd Grade at an elementary school as part of my curriculum. It was during this time that I grew a love for digital audio, DJing, and all kinds of electronic music. I than attended UC Berkeley as an Interdisciplinary Studies student with an emphasis on Music, Technology, & Society (my thesis topic). I spent two years with "The Music Connection", a club through which I tutored AP Music Theory at Berkeley High School in addition to private piano tutoring. I began working as an audio technician and as a DJ during college in 2011. I now have nearly a decade of professional audio/music performance experience under my belt. Currently, I perform regularly at private events and nightclubs, am actively releasing music, and I also own a California-based record label and events group.
