Gear Gareth loves |
Gareth started his musical journey at age 9 with an acoustic guitar. After discovering rock ‘n’ roll, the acoustic was soon traded for an electric, accompanied by the loudest amp he could find. Upon graduating with Honors from Salford University’s Popular Music and Recording course, Gareth pursued post-graduate studies at London’s Trinity College of Music and landed firmly on the London music map.
Many club gigs and studio sessions later, Gareth joined the band FAT with Daniel “Woody” Woodgate (Madness). His recording career started on Mercury Records (UK). But his search for new challenges soon brough him to the US where he teamed up with super producer Ric Wake (Celine Dion, Anastasia, Kelly Osborne, Taylor Dayne, Jennifer Lopez etc…). His work on A&M and Columbia records with FAT led to extensive touring, opening for multi-platinum acts including Faith No More, Megadeth, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Third Eye Blind, SmashMouth, Creed, Primus and The Prodigy. Gareth’s guitar playing can also be heard on tracks by Anastasia, who has currently sold 38+ million records worldwide. As a record producer, Gareth's music has been mixed by industry legends Andy Wallace (Linkin Park, Slayer, Jeff Buckley) and Tim Palmer (U2, David Bowie, Pearl Jam). After placing his music with ESPN’s XGames, Gareth became the producer of the nationally-aired EXPN Radio and ESPN Action Sports Radio for the ABC/ESPN Radio Network. He worked alongside major action sports stars including Tony Hawk, Dave Mirra, Matt Hoffman and Travis Pastrana’s Nitro Circus. Gareth's film music credits include Renaissance Entertainment, Koralis Entertainment , Miramax, Hollywood Pictures, MTV Films and Belair Entertainment. His songs can be heard in such films as “Ready to Rumble”, “An American Werewolf in Paris,” and “Boys and Girls.” TV music credits include compositions for Jerry Bruckheimer, ESPN, TBS, Turner, and MTV Animation. As a member the internationally acclaimed Blue Man Group from 2005-2022, Gareth continued to travel the world while maintaining a strong commitment to composing and producing music for all media outlets with his company Tinpig Music LLC which is now in it's 25th year. |
