BIO

Dereck "Tone Freak" Tabata

I've always created music. Can't imagine living without it. Started with guitar, which eventually evolved into recording engineering, writing, and music production. I stay mostly behind the scenes, allowing medium to take the front of the stage. My element is sitting before a computer screen stroking the keys, strumming an electric guitar or beating on a drum pad.

 

Located in Los Angeles, California allows me access the mecca of west cost music. If I want to listen to jazz, blues, rock, indie, pop, and whatever else I'm in the mood for, it's just a short drive to North Hollywood.

I'm a fan of all genres of music, but my favorites are Pop Punk, EDM, and Rock. The song has always come first in all my compositions. My music is easy to clear as I'm a one-stop-shop writer. I structure each piece with great edit points, making it easier for the music editor to insert any part of the music into a scene or set as a backdrop to a YouTube channel. 

 

I create solid musical foundations from which a music supervisor can use to move the story along in TV, commercials, and branding media.
