Electric Guitar in Portland
Multiple Grammy winning guitarist, arranger, and member of Snarky Puppy. I specialize in mixing genres; I studied jazz and funk, but I grew up on rock. I'm into punk, hip-hop, country, mariachi--you name it I've done the deep listening and I love to recreate different sounds. I also arrange for string sections, string quartet, and horns.
I am a multi award winning songwriter, musician & producer, with over 30 years experience & have had number 'ones' in over 30 countries including the US. After huge success with Right Said Fred, I am currently writing & producing with George Clinton/ Parliament, Funkadelic. I have also worked with Outkast, Lady Miss Kier (Deelite) and Sly Stone.
My goal is to serve the song at its best, listening it from different points of view and ensuring a unique, complete approach without ego. I work both with Major Artists and Rising Talents worldwide with the same level of passion and care for the song.
Creator of guitar-laden hits including Travis Scott’s YOSEMITE and the acoustic driven Don’t Check On Me by Chris Brown and Justin Bieber. Credits include Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, Juice Wrld, Diplo and many more.
We are original songwriters, lyricists,session musicians, engineers and producers of Podcasts, Records,Film and Television original music beds.
I'm Sterling Black, and I'm available as a session musician (guitar, vocals, bass, drums, keys), audio engineer, post-production (mastering), sound design, composition, remixing, sample-creation, and audio-consultation. I've been writing and recording bands/myself/solo artists for over 10 years.
Specializing in Blues, Americana, acoustic rock, classic rock, and other delightfully vintage guitar genres. Chosen by Joe Bonamassa as one of the top 10 undiscovered American blues guitarists in 2013 Guitar Center Blues Masters. And with a generally sunny disposition.
