About Alvin A.

5.0

(2)

Whether you are looking to write or produce, I can help bring both beginners, intermediate and advanced students to the next level. I've written and produced songs that have appeared on Power 105.1, NYC's biggest Urban Radio Station, CBC, Canada's biggest radio station and some of the biggest Spotify playlists in pop, dance and Rnb. I teach production on Logic Pro X, but am also fluent in Pro Tools, which I use to record and mix as an in-house producer/ engineer at Mercy Sound Studios, one of NYC's premier recording studios. I teach songwriting by accompanying on guitar, piano or with a beat. I have been writing professionally for 5 years and can help get beginner writers up to speed on the way writing sessions work on a professional level, or just get you writing songs at home for yourself. Looking forward to learning more about your goals!
