Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer of 25 years. A lot of the music you will see on my page here is from my band The Cinnamon Fuzz, who recorded the music with a multi-platinum producer and Grammy-nominated sound engineer, so it all sounds slick and professional for any licensing needs. A few of the songs had mainstream commercial radio rotation in the greater Boston area. I am also looking for opportunities to license other music I have made outside of that band from dreampop/shoegaze/goth sounds to additional indie, power pop, synth pop, ambient and more. I now work out of my home studio and have songs mixed and mastered professionally by some fantastic and accomplished folks in the industry.  I can also have cut songs to different cues, instrumental mixes, etc. And I have experience creating new original music for television commercials, short films, video game soundtracks, and more.

The Cinnamon Fuzz

The Cinnamon Fuzz are actually the Cinnamon Brothers - Jonah & Nick Burstein. The sound? Everything from funked-out dance grooves to slick new-wave sultry rock, all spawned by eclectic influences varying from Kurt Vonnegut to "Big Trouble in Little China" to The Cars. Since releasing their EP "Cruise of the Century", the Synth-Pop outfit has garnered media acclaim, scored commercial radio rotation with their song "In Your Hands", and was named one of the 18 best unsigned acts in the USA by Billboard in March 2011.

"Armed with Ocasek-ian pop tunes like "Reboot My Heart,'' they sound like the Cars' kid brothers." - Boston Globe

"...it's a five-song joyride -- complete with vintage DeLorean DMC-12 pictured on the album cover -- through love-sick city streets drunk on smooth pop-music craftsmanship." - Michael Marotta, Boston Phoenix
