    About Steven G.

    5.0
    (12)
    Since I first stepped foot in Los Angeles seven years ago, I've devoted myself to pursuing a career of musical passion and excellence. I work as a composer, producer, and recording artist who specializes in writing music for film, television, games, and other multimedia experiences. I believe in infusing fresh, innovative techniques with an old-school attention to detail and devotion to the craft. Along the way, I've kindled a love for music education, and have profoundly enjoyed helping along students of all ages and backgrounds in their budding musical journeys. I began studying classical piano privately at an early age, and spent four years at the University of Miami studying under Academy Award nominee Chris Boardman, and graduated with a degree in Music Composition & Production and a double minor in Music Business and Creative American Music. After many years of teaching private lessons, I've moved to Santa Clarita to establish my own teaching studio in Saugus. I teach piano, guitar, composition, and music production to students at any proficiency level. I am always on the lookout to work with new people who are just as excited about creating music as I am. I look forward to meeting you and starting our musical journey together!
