My name is
Brian Shepard. After more than fifty years as a professional musician, composer, producer, and music educator in the US, I am now semi-retired in the beautiful port city of Setúbal, Portugal, where, through the wonders of modern technology, I continue to work with a few select clients.
I invite you to explore my skills on this site, and if what you see resonates with your musical needs, please
contact me.
Whether it’s composing or arranging custom music for concerts, special events, or media, I create professional scores and parts ready to be performed and recorded by any type of ensemble or soloist.
Do you have recorded music or audio that needs mixing, mastering, and other production work? I will prepare your recordings to stand out when broadcast and distributed through physical and electronic media.
From the sound of thundering kettledrums, mysterious gongs, and melodic bells, to the many grooves and styles of world percussion, I provide the percussive colors that bring your performances and recordings to life.
