Piano, Bass, Ukulele, Drums
Antonio Valenzuela-Amaya has been a music enthusiast since he started singing to the music that his parents would play on the car stereo during his childhood. He began playing instruments as a freshman in high school, and once recognized that he was able to comfort his family during stressful times with the sound of the open strings on his father’s acoustic guitar. This impacted the way Antonio thought of music and thus began his experimentation with music and digital recording software.
Antonio attended college at Full Sail University after being enlisted in the U.S. Marines. There he received his bachelor’s degree in Audio Production. After 2 years of working as an audio engineer, he continued his education by attending California College of Music where he received his certificate in Songwriting and Music Production.
He is a multi-instrumentalist who plays ukulele, guitar, bass, piano, and percussion and performs on any of his instruments whenever the opportunity arises. He has performed for venues such as LA MUSIC TRIBE and at other various community events.
His music teacher Chris Kapica taught him multiple different disciplines in music theory, ear training, and popular music studies. Chris inspired Antonio to become a musician that could be valuable in any performance or music production circumstance.
Since completing his education and moving to Colorado. Antonio has been teaching musicians the ways of his practice. He strives for his students to achieve their musical goals and become lifelong music creators and enthusiast.
