About Conal


Bio

I've had a love for music since a very young age. I've been playing piano since elementary school, and I also play sax and clarinet. In high school I began focusing on music composition and songwriting, and I studied Music Industry at Drexel University with a concentration in Recording Arts & Music Production. I've had the honor of working at Premier Studios in Manhattan, where I got the chance to work with high-profile recording artists. I've also worked in one-on-one scenarios with TV...

I've had a love for music since a very young age. I've been playing piano since elementary school, and I also play sax and clarinet. In high school I began focusing on music composition and songwriting, and I studied Music Industry at Drexel University with a concentration in Recording Arts & Music Production. I've had the honor of working at Premier Studios in Manhattan, where I got the chance to work with high-profile recording artists. I've also worked in one-on-one scenarios with TV composers who wrote for shows featured on CBS.

Helping others to make their musical visions a reality is something I find genuinely thrilling. It is why I decided to study recording and production, and it is why I am offering myself as a tutor now.

Pianist for 17 years, saxophonist for 15 years, composer and songwriter for 11 years, working in music production for 7 years, experience with my own record label/production company, current freelance producer and mix engineer.

I'd love to get to know you and see if we'd be a good fit!
