ORIGINAL MUSIC--AUDIO PRODUCTION--COLLABORATION-- LIVE PERFORMANCE & GUITAR LESSONS -- SAN DIEGO, CA
paulMONTESANO MUSIC is a resource for original music and music production, established by composer and guitarist Paul Montesano. From original ideas to final production, Paul is involved in projects that range from composing music for film and TV--to personally assisting other songwriters develop arrangements-- to finding the right chords for vocalists to perform on guitar.
On this page you will find links to these various services.
As a songwriter, arranger, vocalist and guitarist living in San Diego, Paul's current work is heard on PBS stations across the country, and through his personal compilations of CD. With roots in American soul, pop, Latin, folk and Jazz he composes in different genres, and combines lyrics, melody and folk rhythms in new expressions of WORLD MUSIC.
Many of Paul's compositions and master recordings can be heard as soundtracks, and his catalog is available for licensing. He has worked with artists from Africa and Brazil over the last 20 years, and he continues to compose music based on rhythms from around the world. Paul's strongest musical influences outside of the United States come from BRAZIL, and his current projects combine Bossa Nova, Neo-Soul, Reggae, and Samba.
Montesano Music production studio is located on the Point Loma peninsula of San Diego, California. Contact Paul through this website if you're looking for song production, collaboration, or guitar lessons in any part of the world you may live.
By using SKYPE, along with the easy transfer of digital files to any location, it is easier than ever to collaborate. Paul will offer his musicianship and songwriting experience to help you finish your music project.
