Pierce Akers

Los Alamitos ,California

Summary

Hello! My name is Pierce Akers and I'm a Multi-Instrumentalist, Songwriter, and Music Producer from Orange County California. Music has been my passion since I picked up the piano in early 2012. I started playing guitar in 2013 and started playing shows in 2016. I've played many iconic venues such as the House of Blues, Observatory, The

Whisky, Chain Reaction in which I've played many sold out shows in these said venues. I have some bit of tour experience in mainly the west coast and east coast but all over the country (some examples include touring with 156/Silence and VCTMS as well as Carnifex on their latest US tour) . I picked up producing sometime in 2018 and it's one of my main passions alongside guitar and playing

shows (with 5-6 years knowledge with Logic Pro X). Since then, I've helped record and produce music in various professional studios as well

as recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered music of my own. I also have a YouTube channel with over 4,000 subscribers which showcases more of my work and my interpretations through covers of various established bands in both rock and metal. I also work with Friedman Amplification and Ernie Ball Music Man using their amps and guitars to

help showcase my work and sonic signature in the music industry.
