About Gilbert

With a dad who was a touring guitarist in the 70's-90's and a mom who took me to every major rock concert 

when I was growing up, it was no surprise that music became a part of my identity and something I wanted to

share with people. My most recent professional activity before joining the Music & Arts team was co-owning 

a studio with a healthy student base ranging from ages 4 to 70+ teaching a variety of musical styles in Guitar,

Drumset, Bass, Marching Percussion, Songwriting, and Theory, as well as helping some students prepare for

auditions for other music programs, church bands or performances of their own!

My biggest musical accomplishment was performing in Carnegie Hall in NYC as a percussionist, by

coincidence that performance landed on my 18th birthday! My academic music programs allowed me to

have a variety of experiences and performances with drumlines, jazz bands, musicals, full orchestras, and

other ensembles. My focus in recent years has been songwriting and producing my own music, I love just

about any genre but I always find myself going back to Rock, Prog, Punk, old school Hip Hop, Jazz, Metal, and

scores from Films, TV, and Videogames. 

 I hope to meet you soon!    \m/
