Cylindrian GraceBuford’s Summary
Music instructor at Gwinnett School of Music (Grayson, GA Location): beginning guitar, beginning & advance piano, vocal training, and songwriting
Performing musician for various events: Weddings, Restaurants, Festivals, Parties, Songwriters in the Rounds
Recording Artist: 3 albums available on iTunes & 1 at CD Baby
Currently working with Farmington Public School in TeenSL training instructors how to broadcast, setup audio equipment, & teach their students how to broadcast their original compositions.
Because of the use of Internet Broadcasting and the online program, Second Life(tm), I have been afforded the opportunities to take my virtual performances live to the majority of the places listed above across the US.
Because of my accomplishments in performing music over the internet and in the real world, I have been appeared in:
CBS Channel 46;MTV's True Life and was recently featured on CNN.
Publications:
BIllboard Magazine
I enjoy being able to work behind the scenes connecting and running sound for the performers, getting video streaming set up, and networking with the people that make up the teams. Not only does this give me an opportunity to connect with people and perform my own original compositions, but also to help others advance in their careers as well.
The fusing of virtual reality with the real world and bringing people together is what I am all about. I hope to be able to provide these kinds of services to other musicians and bring quality entertainment to companies that are willing to step outside the box and open up their minds to something new and innovative.
