I've been a session musician all over the west coast for almost ten years, recording and arranging horn parts for Soul, Funk, Reggae, Jazz, Hip Hop groups. I've recorded Saxophone, Flute, and Clarinet, created improvised solos, as well as arranged parts for woodwind and brass sections. I've worked specifically with Daptone recording artists.
I'm offering my skills in quickly writing, arranging, and recording horn parts in whatever style of music you're making. I have recording capabilities and can record parts on Soprano, Alto, and Tenor Saxophone. As well as Flute and Clarinet. I also have access to professional trumpet and trombone players for a variety of different sounds.
I graduated with a bachelors of music in 2013, and earned a masters degree for music in 2015. I've been playing with bands since I was kid, writing melodies and arranging parts. I specialize in creating parts to songs that boost the energy and feeling of a song. I also can improvise solos in various styles of music.

Endorse Eric Johnson Music
check_circleVerifiedEric and his trumpet player nailed the sound I was seeking for a funky/reggae song! Delivered the files quickly and was very professional about everything.

Eric is great to work with! I was in need of having a horns section arranged and he did an incredible job, exactly what I was looking for. Not only is he super talented but answered in a very timely manner and had the material ready within that week, great to work with! Definitely will work with him in the future!
check_circleVerifiedEric is an incredible musician! He blended saxophone and flute together perfectly for my song. My first time collaborating with him, but definitely not the last! Communication was also on point and turnaround time was super quick. Highly, highly recommend!

Eric was amazing to work with. He delivered an amazing and smooth solo for my song quickly and professionally. I will 100% work with him again in the future.
check_circleVerifiedEric is your man for authentic soul horns, he and his trumpeter did a great job of interpreting the pre-written midi lines I provided as well as arranging an alternative version from scratch. Very impressed with both.
It turned out he had played on one of the original references tracks my producer and I had been working from, great to be able to find such quality players on here that have played on songs I love.
I was the horn arranger and performer in this production
I allow one free revision, I can typically turn them around in under 7 days depending on the density of the horn arrangement/use of multiple horns. We can discuss bulk rates for multiple instruments.
