Alan’s music career has brought him to many different places. He has toured Europe with a rock band, played classical guitar for many weddings in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, and played countless gigs at concert halls, restaurants, bars, clubs, temples, nursing homes, country clubs….you name it.

There has been an enormous variety in the music Alan has played over the years. Alan studied classical and jazz guitar extensively and also trained in Indian Classical Vocals for five years. The ensembles he has performed in have included such genres as Modern Jazz, Gypsy Jazz, Pop Covers, Irish Rock, Indie Rock, Heavy Metal, Bluegrass, Avant-Garde, and Folk.

In Summer 2020, Alan has relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles to further pursue his music career. He is the founder of three separate music businesses. As an original music artist, he has been writing, performing, and producing singles of his songs. He also has been performing his original music at venues all over Los Angeles. As a professional guitarist, Alan runs Raymond Alan Wedding Music and performs classical guitar at wedding ceremonies all over Southern California. The third business is Rigoletto Music! 

Alan began teaching the guitar in the Summer of 2005 as a high school job. Teaching guitar lessons became something Alan did regularly to support himself through music school and has continued to be an important part of his music career ever since. Throughout the years, Alan has taught guitar, ukulele, voice, piano, banjo, mandolin, violin, and harmonica. Nowadays Alan just sticks to teaching guitar, ukulele, piano, and voice.
