Physical Characteristics

Meet the Act

I have multiple hobbies outside music as well, I co-own a media company, Chromatics Creative Studios, as well as a music production company, The Garden JA. I have a massive habit of making friends really quickly lol, and I end up having waaaaaaay too many to count, but I have a special place in my heart for each one of them. I love what I do, and I'm grateful to be able to share it with the world!

Virtual Services Offer

Live Arrangements for Live Shows

I am a Musical Director with multiple years of experience, and I am a professional arranger/programmer. I can bring your show to the next level with arrangements that elevate songs for the audience's enjoyment, instead of playing the record of the song as is. It will add flavour without taking away the feel of the original song. See some samples here! https://www.joedavisarts.com/arranging-samples/

Live Jazz backing tracks for Bars, Events, etc.

I am a multi-instrumentalist with multiple years of jazz experience. I can create a jazz piano (with upright bass and drums optional) backing track of any length (literally, it could be 3 hours), that you can play as a simple mp3 file, which would provide live music for guests without needing to provide a live instrumentalist, or curating an entire jazz playlist.
