Trumpeter for Lil Nas X "Industry Baby" I love creating horn lines that will compliment your track. Fast, Easy, Communicative. I layer myself w/ harmonies to build a full section.
Hey! Reach out to see why I am the Top Reviewed Trumpet player on Soundbetter! With over 20 years of experience, I am flexible and easy to work with! I am a trumpet, valve trombone and flugelhorn player.
HOW IT ALL WORKS... (all my work is one time fee/work for hire)
* Send me the track you want horns on and let me know the BPM with any notes you have.
* I will send you a quote
* If you have specific ideas, melodies, hooks, you can record them or play them on your track, and I will translate them to horns.
* If not, no worries, this is what I excel in!!! I will create my own horn parts and layer them so you have plenty of options to choose from!
* I will send you a link to the stems and a bounce of the track for reference after I record!
I DO NOT CHARGE EXTRA FOR LAYERS. I am happy to do them for the overall quote price so if you want something to sound fuller, just ask! :)
I treat every track like it is my own- with love and care, and I look forward to working with you. I want you to win! Also love to support your track and post about it when you release it.
*PLEASE DO NOT CREDIT MY NAME ON SONGS YOU RELEASE without consulting with me first- thank you :)

Ryan is a whole other level altogether, he got the vibe of my song perfectly and did an amazing horns/trumpet section which dances with emotion the song carries. Absolutely love it ! Thanks a lot Ryan !
check_circleVerifiedRyan completely killed this track. His playing was gentle, decisive, and with a lot of intent. It was perfect for the song he left plenty of space for the song to breathe while still providing exceptional value for the price. His communication and turnaround time were the best I have yet had.
