Of all instruments, the guitar is essential to singers, songwriters and musicians. It has evolved over the course of time and is solidified as an essential element in a variety of musical genres. Producer and musician, Aaron Kusterer masters the guitar's very essence, as its strings lay the foundation of his melodic messages. With his blistering guitar riffs, and his powerful stage presence, audiences are buoyed by the high-energy and force of his meteoric talent.
Over the past 23 years, Aaron tells the history of his instrument through his musicianship. Born in Missouri, Aaron began his musical journey under the tutelage of his parents. Beethoven, Bach, and possibly some Petra (thanks to his father) were the pillars upon which the Kusterer household was built. Aaron's creativity and work shines a bright light on his musical influences, with the constant musical exposure from his musician parents.
As a child of the 90s, it was an exciting time for music, but the call of the 80s resounded. Pinch harmonics, whammy bar tricks, and double-stop riffs make that authentic sound that has been finely tuned over the course of daily practicing, even to this day. Determination, repetition, and discipline make a musician. Being a working guitarist, though, requires the versatility to make stylistically appropriate musical decisions. Versatility is the difference between your college fraternity kid and making a living creating music. Therein lies the very thing that Aaron strives for daily; the ability to adapt to any musical situation at the highest level possible.
Currently, Aaron works in both Los Angeles, CA and Honolulu, He's a
producer, hired gun, and music director for a wide variety of different
groups and artists. He is also a musical director, guitarist, and tour
manager for Twisted Gypsy, a Fleet-wood Mac tribute show. When he

commercial and artist projects as a producer and engineer for AK Studios
and Productions.

Every musician has a story, a pattern of events and influences that shape
who they are. For Aaron Kusterer, the greatest part of his story is the
element of dedication.
Dedication to music and to being the best.
