About Me

If there's ever been one constant in my universe, one absolute that I could always rely on, it's been MUSIC!Music is my whole heart, soul, and the only time I'm really serene and at peace with myself, the world around me, my brothers and my sisters, it's when I'm either performing, writing, recording, reading, learning, in some capacity consuming or collaborating with other's in a musical and artful way.Since before I can even remember I was banging away on the piano keys. I've been thru many different keyboards over the course of my 36 years. I never dreamt the possibility of the creative tools we now have at our disposal.. and I'm grateful that I'm alive today and able to share in this experience.I am now, and forever more, a student of creative arts and am currently and rapidly approaching my senior year at Expression College for Digital Arts, Emeryville California(San Francisco Bay Area) earning my Bachelors in the Art and Science of Sound.My aspiration is to be the singer, the songsmith, the engineer, the producer, the mix guy, the live sound guy.. the all encomapssing and self contained artist that every moment of my life since my earliest memories, I've aspired to be.Add to my growing list of sonic work scoring video games and movies! Those clips will be available here soon and as well at my official website(see below).There are many facets to what I'm into so to the point that It would take up a lot of space to list them here. Currently, I'm seeking to produce other bands and solo artist. I've got studio time that I'm trading simply for the use of your music in my student portfolio to showcase my skill set for future employers. Send me a message if you'd like more information on free studio time in some very fine sounding temples of sound!and please, I'm always open to constructive critisism of my work and of course a few ataboys wouldn't be so bad either. I've got a SNOCAP store full of offerings and will often have free downloads available.My new site is located at www.gregoryjakeduncan.com so check back often as new and exciting mulimedia projects will be available.But more important than all of that, I wish you all to have the courage to acheive what suits your heart and soul, keep your feet rooted and grounded in this earth, NEVER give up following your one true bliss!Peace, Love, Soul!GJD
