I transferred to Local 802 after recently moving to New York City. I’ve been working as a session composer, arranger, guitarist and singer since graduating from Berklee in 1979. I’ve been a member of AFM Local 147 (Dallas), Local 10-208 (Chicago) and Local 586 (Phoenix). As a producer of jingles, promos and news themes for radio and TV, I’ve contracted and performed on countless union sessions during my 30+ years in the business. I want to do the same in New York, and I know that being a Local 802 member is a great way to get my name out and get to know other musicians.
