Wes the composer:

My composition journey started at Northwestern in a class called Creating the Musical led by David H. Bell.

While in college, I collaboratively wrote music and lyrics for dozens of songs featured in workshops and productions at Northwestern.

For information on my non-theatre songwriting, feel free to contact me! I'm looking for artists/sessions, and have a catalogue of 100+ pop songs.​

As a senior, I co-wrote 7 songs featured in the 92nd Annual Waa-Mu Show: Romance En Route, while serving as Co-Music Director.

The cast album is streaming on all platforms! I'm also a credited writer on the 90th and 91st Waa-Mu shows, which are similarly streaming.

Last Stop On Market Street

I was the Associate Music Director for a new musical adaptation of the children's book Last Stop on Market Street. (November 2021)

We composed music for 5 songs, underscored the whole show, & then orchestrated for a 5 piece pit. I played Keyboard 2 & Guitar.

90 Miles

This year (under the mentorship of Ryan Scott Oliver), I began writing & presenting new songs for my Creating the Musical capstone project.

I'm still writing and developing what will be a contemporary MT / latinX inspired musical that explores my family's Cuban immigration story.
