Welcome to my website! I’m Emerson Wahl, a multi-instrumentalist and composer currently living in Seattle, WA. I’m primarily a percussionist and drummer, but I often use talkbox, guitar, and synthesizers in my music. I feel very strongly about the music I like, and I love collaborating with people who have similar interests… so don’t be a stranger! Playing drums in a progressive metal band was a big part of my musical upbringing. What followed was lots of R&B, jazz, progressive music, orchestral music, speaking percussion, avant-garde… you name it. Three college degrees later, I find myself still learning new things about music every day, and continuing to study music privately. I’m a perpetual learner.
I currently teach drums and guitar in the Seattle area, and I’m working on recording an album of my own music. When I have free time I enjoy playing Starcraft II, jogging, and hanging out with my significant other, Hannah, and our cat Forsythia. If you’re interested in real-time strategy games, you’d probably enjoy my Twitch streams of Starcraft. Thanks again for stopping by.
