My Story: A Lifelong Symphony Like Beethoven’s 9th
“Some movements are stormy and brooding, but they all lead to triumphant victories in overtures of the human spirit.” Tommy Mac
“Consider my recent release of nine musically diverse tracks entitled ‘Fearless Expedition‘. My musical journey began at the tender age of 10. Music has always been more than just a career for me; it’s a calling, my greatest passion, accompanying me for over six decades.
As a jazz trumpeter and flugelhorn instrumentalist specializing in improvisational solos, I started honing my craft in middle school and continued through high school. My professional career then took me across the U.S. and overseas, where I shared stages with renowned artists. These experiences not only sharpened my skills through memorable performances but also enriched my soul.
My academic pursuits at three different universities immersed me in a diverse range of musical styles: from 16th-century Palestrina to 18th-century Bach chorales, string quartets, big band jazz, and jazz quartets, through the electronic revolution of the 70s and the pioneering days of MIDI in the 80s, up to today’s AI technology. These experiences led to writing songs for legends like Freddie Hubbard and a career highlight: co-writing ‘I’m Gonna Hold You Again’ with Grammy-nominated songwriter Allan Rich, known for ‘Run to You’ in Whitney Houston’s film ‘The Bodyguard’.
In 2017, I channeled this wealth of experience into establishing MASHENE Music Group, LLC in Las Vegas. Our mission is clear and impactful: To elevate your company’s brand with SOUND and VISION by crafting unique, original music that connects with audiences in your ads and marketing campaigns, enhancing your AD spend through original music, videos, “Royalty-Free” options, and “Shared Publishing Revenue“
I bring not just my music, but the essence of a life dedicated to the art. MASHENE isn’t just my artist or a companies name; it’s the culmination of a lifelong passion, expertise, and commitment to excellence in music production and original marketing content.
