Hi, my name is Jules Calella and I have been playing music since I started piano lessons in kindergarten. I’ve been playing guitar as my primary instrument for about 15 years and writing music for almost as long. I always loved the symphonic soundtracks of games like Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Halo as well as scores for films in Disney, Pixar, and anything John Williams was involved in.
Growing up in the 90s, a lot of my music interests were pop-punk, classic rock, alternative, and ska. I eventually discovered guitar-centric instrumental music from great artists like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Neil Zaza, and John Petrucci which challenged me to become a better player and try to write music that is impressive to listen to, but melodic at its core.
Today I enjoy making covers of the music that inspired me and writing original rock tracks blended with symphony orchestras. I love working on the entire process from composing, recording, mixing and mastering, and then finally getting to perform live. I even love teaching others about music. Since so much of what I learned in the beginning was thanks to other people sharing their knowledge on YouTube, I wanted to pass that forward and provide free lessons as well.
