Hey all, I'm an aspiring musician who is looking for work.
If you're interested in having me compose and/or record some music for you or your project, I'd love to help you out.
I'm willing to work for free, unless I start getting really booked up, then I'll have to start charging just to keep the number of submissions feasible.
Although I'm willing to work for free, I most definitely would not decline voluntary BTC donations.

I currently own and play these instruments:
  • guitar (acoustic and electric)
  • banjo
  • bass
  • ukulele
  • piano
  • percussion
  • electronic instruments
  • trumpet (sort of)

Although as of right now these are the only instrument that I own and can play,
I'm able and willing to compose music for any instrument.
I cannot guarantee that I will be able to have my composition recorded in the scenario that it includes an instrument(s) I don't have, but I can certainly try.
If you have the ability to get a piece recorded by someone else, I can still compose for you.
I can also play improvised instruments, such as wine glasses, beer bottles, using a violin bow on guitar or banjo, etc.

Previous Work

I have written and recorded many pieces for friends.
Below is a youtube playlist that includes most of the finished film projects I have composed for.
Many of them are not recent so they do not reflect the current production quality or my recording process,
but they will give you some idea of my composition style.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8wVu9L5lyIQ8Krxfg4NhijvcqdaNMXpy

Some of you may also be familiar with the "You, Me, and BTC" podcast, which can be found at youmeandbtc.com
All pieces used as intros and transitions on the podcast were written and recorded by myself.

In addition to all of that, you can also visit my soundcloud profile.
I post everything I record on there, so you may have to sift through quite a bit of material to find things relevant to you,
but if you take the time to look around there, it will probably give you the most accurate representation of my skills and abilities.

Get In Touch!

If you have any interest at all in my services, please don't hesitate to contact me at any of the places listed below.
I'm extremely eager to compose and record music.
If you think you might want some original music for a project, but you're not quite sure what, I can work with that.
I've worked both with little guidance and with strict guidelines and am comfortable with either.
I've also dealt with strict deadlines and I work well under the gun.

John definitely does some great work. He's very talented and flexible. I'm always surprised by the range of genres he can work with. You might want to mention that it's free in the title so you get more viewers. Good luck!

I can definitely do that. Do you have any time length requirements or a deadline?

I've never done anything completely authentic brazillian or samba, but I've never been asked to. I'm sure I could come up with something decent. Here's the closest I've probably ever done to samba:

I like it, but there is something missing there, it kinda reminded me of a James Bond back drop sound Smiley could you try an upbeat smooth samba?

That was actually meant to sound somewhat like James Bond. I recorded that for a friend of mine over a year or so ago, it was just a sample for you. I'm on vacation for the next week, but I can definitely work on putting together a smooth upbeat samba once I'm home if you're willing to wait two weeks or so.

Thanks for getting back. I can do bossa nova too. I would love to send you a sample, but right now I'm in the midst of remixing Adam Kokesh's new book, "Freedom." It's quite a long piece so it's very demanding. The remix coupled with everything else I have on my plate right now will slow things down a bit, but I could try to get you a bossa nova sample if I have a moment of downtime.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by unique, but here are three of my already existing tracks that might be worth looking at. You could use any one of them as long as I'm credited for them as John Stuart. If you're looking for something more specific, I can definitely give anything you might want a shot, but as mentioned in an earlier post, I'm right in the middle of a fairly large project for someone important, so I may not be able to have it done as quickly as normal, but I'm willing to try anything.

Well, I can't speak Hindi, but I might be able to do something similar to the instrumentals used in Indian pop.
