Playing bass was love at first pluck for Marty Isenberg. His career as a jazz musician began at the age of 12, after losing his father to cancer the year prior. A skilled amateur musician, Marty’s father kept many instruments around the house that he would play for the family. After his death, Marty would pull one of these instruments off the wall and begin teaching himself how to play by reading tablature in Bass Player Magazine. The first song he ever learned was My Own Summer by The Deftones. Playing bass was love at first pluck for Mr. Isenberg. It was a cathartic healing experience, a way to stay connected to his father, and a way to creatively express himself. He went on to study at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music where he majored in Jazz Performance and minored in Jazz Composition, and received his Master of Music degree from New York University. He is now a doctoral candidate at Stony Brook University where he is the teaching assistant to the jazz department chair Ray Anderson.
For almost 20 years, Mr. Isenberg has been part of the rich New York City music scene. His performing career weaves though many styles of music, from jazz, to classical music, to theater and contemporary music. Mr. Isenberg pulls from all of these experiences to arrange the music of his debut album The Way I Feel Inside: Inspired by the Films of Wes Anderson, adding his own voice and reimagining the music that helped to shape his own musical identity.

Words from Ellis:
“I officially began my guitar making career in Chicago back in 2002, when my favorite guitar was in need of major repair. I did what I always do: read every book I can find about the subject. After that I was hooked, I found an apprenticeship and realized that rather than repairs, designing and building instruments was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Three years later, I moved to NYC and got the chance to work at Sadowsky Guitars, arguably the best guitar shop in the city. My time there not only showed me how much I had to learn but also allowed me to grow from an amateur builder to a professional. I was hired to do fret work and body sanding back in 2005, but moved on to final assembly and by 2013 became the shop manager.

Over the course of the past 16 years, I've built hundreds of instruments. I've learned something from each one. Whether it was about wood combinations, electronics, construction techniques and design, or geometry and balance. The goal is always to create an instrument that echoes back the inspiration put into it. “
