A not-so secret weapon of the LA Music Industry as a Guitarist / Vocalist / Arranger / Producer, Byron’s credits span work with numerous #1 Hit Artists, Film and TV productions, Records, International Tours, High-level Corporate Functions, Weddings and Nightclub Dates.
I had the pleasure that Byron played and co composed several songs for my first two records "MIndmovie - An Ocean Of Dreams" and "Mindmovie - Happiness and Tears". It was a real pleasure and the results went far beyond my expectations. To me Byron is one of the most versatile guitar players on this planet, and apart from that a great human being and a real pleasure to work with. He really made a difference !
Response from Byron Fry:
Thanks, Achim! Looking forward to more collaboration!
Byron Fry has performed miracles for me in the studio several times with his guitar/musical wizardry, once such time I remember him flying in his parts/solo to one of my songs at 4am! He'd been up for two days and nights and just before hitting the wall, decided to record his parts for my song. If it were anyone else, I probably would have been very afraid to hear this news, but the man can obviously orchestrate and perform [on a very high level] in his sleep! Not only the perfect guitar parts for ANY occasion or challenge, but I have also been a witness (and participant) in Byron's orchestral composing and scoring, having played trumpet on his chamber piece, "Three of A Kind". He even conducted it very well. (having never before conducted anything in his life)
The man is fearless as well as diligent. All the way around. In his personal life as well as his work, and lemmie tell you, he's a heck of a nice guy too. Further, if a man's wealth be determined by his choice of friends, then Byron is surrounded by precious gold.
Byron is the real deal. He's a great musician all-around, and a superb guitarist. He plays many styles with ease. There's no need to worry about quality the music you're getting with this guy! And, he's a nice person too. Reasonable to work with and kind.
Response from Byron Fry:
Thanks, Abby!
I hope we get a chance to make more music soon!
I have worked with the best guitar players for over 4 decades and Byron is by far one of the Best! It's not just his impeccable talent on all levels, but his great personality and eas to work with. There's no one I would refer quicker than Byron. This guy ROCKS!
Response from Byron Fry:
Thanks, John...looking forward to some more great live shows with your project!
Byron on a first rate music and a consummate professional. I could not rate him more highly.
Response from Byron Fry:
Thanks, Geoff! Coming from such a brilliant composer, that means a lot.
Byron Fry is an extraordinary musician!
We did a tour together and he always added his signature sound to the music.
Byron stands alone as a great artist!
Love,
Melanie
With perfect pitch and excellent training, Byron will own any piece of music set in front of him. Without written music, he can hear his way through the most complex of arrangements without error. As a producer of numerous orchestral works and several of his own albums, his attention to detail produces pristine results. Work with Byron and you will not be disappointed!
Response from Byron Fry:
Thanks for this ringing endorsement, Ian...I hold your abilities in the same regard. Looking forward to the next time we play!
