Don DePaola

I’m a self taught musician, who writes and produces original - instrumental music that has an assortment of styles. I began playing guitar at the age of 16 and eventually pursued a music career, teaching, recording and performing throughout the NJ and NY area. After a 6 year layoff from a severe hand injury in 1992, I had to re-teach myself how to play and began composing music again. Over the last decade I’ve been involved with session work, producing, sound tracking for independent film and media production. My new CD "Grateful Soul" is on sale at CDBABY.COM. Recently because of time restraints, my objectives have changed a bit, while I still love to write music and perform, there are times it’s becoming extremely difficult to actively participate in the music industry. Nevertheless, I still manage a selected amount of time to play, and compose as a hobbyist. I also have a huge passion for photography, and altering - creating new transitions with distinctive photographs and art work. I'm still in the infancy phase but in time, I'll get better at it. Now that you’ve met me, I’d like to meet you! Thanks so much for dropping in to listen and observe! I have some featured videos on You Tube if you get the chance to check them out, I’m also accessible for studio time, and original projects in the NJ/NY area.
