What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create and deliver bespoke music, orchestrations, and playback assets for theatrical, live-stage, and cruise ship productions, collaborating closely with production, stage, sound, and technical teams.

I create custom music production for live stage, theatre, cruise ship shows, and guest entertainers through Guerrette Creative. I take projects from arrangement approval and DAW orchestration through music preparation, stems, click tracks, and final delivery.

At Deerhurst Resort, I served as Musical Director and Resident Composer/Arranger for eight years, managing schedules, rehearsals, cast coordination, and creative direction for live stage productions. I also spent roughly ten years performing in cruise ship theatre, which led to arranging work including custom orchestrations for Cunard's Big Band Night.

I've composed themes, underscoring, documentaries, network branding, and more than one hundred television commercials for organizations including PBS, CBC, BBC, and major multinational brands. I also manage remote orchestration and music-preparation teams while coordinating closely with production, stage, sound, and technical crews.
