         Growing up in the Los Angeles area Geoffrey Wilson started playing guitar at age 11 and was working professionally as a musician by age thirteen in local rock and acoustic acts. As a teenager he played in local college big bands, studied classical guitar at California Institute of the Arts and was invited to study at UC Santa Barbara to develop his other musical love, composing.

         Throughout Geoffrey's young adult life he studied classical and studio guitar and composition at California State University Northridge and Javanese and Balinese Gamelan music at UCLA and Cal Arts. During this time he worked extensively as a session musician, musical director, composer, producer and sound engineer.

         Finally moving to the Seattle area Geoffrey now spends his time performing live and in the studio, teaching all styles of guitar and composition, and composing background production music for World Market Publishing.
