Most know me as a jazz guitarist and member of the group "New West." However, over the past year I have also worked on writing music for television and film. While attending the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California, I worked for the Music Department at 20th Century FOX researching song/artist potential for specific movie projects. Upon graduating in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in Studio/Jazz Guitar Performance, I went to work for the EMMY Award-winning composer Trevor Morris at the renowned Remote Control Productions (Hans Zimmer's production facility). I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work on such projects as the hit Showtime series "The Tudors," as well as "The Incredible Hulk" movie. Since leaving Remote Control, I have been touring and recording with my group, "New West" (myspace.com/newwestguitar), as well as freelance composing for various independent projects.
Brady!!! it is time i let you in on a secret: fuck that art music shit...it is clear that your true talent is playing sweet organ glissandos on funk cues, not in making lame guitar trio "jazz" music.
