    About Erik M.

    5.0
    (4)
    I'm lead vocalist, lead guitarist & songwriter for a jazz/future soul band that is currently the house band for Gallery 992. I graduated from Clayton County Fine Arts Magnet High School, and am currently teaching lessons to students ranging in ability from beginner to intermediate. My experience and training makes learning the beauty of music fun and exciting. Currently, I run a studio producing for other artists' creative projects, play for an active jazz band and am a songwriter under BMI. I spend much of my time writing and recording for my projects and other artists. My songs have been featured on short films and artist EPs. I teach students in my home teaching studio in Atlanta,Georgia where we can vibe out and build with each other. I work with guitarists, pianists, horn players, producers, songwriters, engineers, singers and rappers with different skills and different goals. I regularly teach: Jazz, Alternative, Rock, Soul, R&B, Blues, Hip-Hop, Pop, Indie Rock and Funk

    Really knows his stuff! Seemingly endless ideas spanning from multiple perspectives with a flair for emotionally-driven motifs, means there's a ton to learn from him. I'm mostly grateful for his patience, as I often struggle with new material.

    Songwriting Course Certificate

    Mar, 2014

    Berklee College of Music

    The course examines the tools available to you, all revolving around the essential concept of prosody. I learned to use tools to enhance my message—to work compositionally at the same time developing my ideas. You work both lyrically and musically, though musically it’s not necessary that you either read music or play an instrument. I played and recorded musical responses to the assignments.
