About Me

Hi, I’m Manson – a NYC-based guitarist with a lifelong love for music. Over the years, I’ve honed my craft as a performer, composer, and educator, drawing inspiration from the vibrant energy of the city that never sleeps. My journey with the guitar began [insert personal story, e.g., ‘as a teenager, strumming my first chords in a small Brooklyn apartment’], and it has since evolved into a career dedicated to creating and sharing music that resonates with the soul. When I’m not performing live or composing in the studio, I’m passionate about teaching aspiring guitarists of all ages. My goal is to inspire others to find their unique voice through music, just as I have. Let’s connect and make something unforgettable."*

Professional Experience

Collaboration is at the heart of my music.

My ability to adapt and elevate any musical setting has made me a sought-after collaborator in NYC’s vibrant music scene.
