Hi my name is Bertram, yes like the butler from the hit Disney channel show, Jesse, lol.
I’m looking for musicians to work with me and record on songs I’ve written. I have a whole studio with loads of equipment, along with knowing some studios around Jersey. I’m also always looking for work from studios, labels, anything really as I am a session musician with a wide variety of knowledge and skill, and a songwriter who’s involved in the industry, and in the American Federation of Musicians Union Local 77 Philadelphia.
I’ve been trained on various instruments, including having been trained by Beverly Bremers for vocals.
I’ve also done photography/videography work for The Burkharts.
