"Walter is a wellspring of inspiration to not only his collective audiences but to those up-and-comers that want to be immersed in the mechanics of todays technology platforms, yet receive the organic know-how of bringing the human element to one's musical ears. "Paradise is a good title for his new single for its a state of mind he lives in," says Jaijai Jackson of the Jazz Network Worldwide.
In addition to his musical performance achievements, he is known for being an innovator of today's technology models that support all areas of music production. Walter's diverse background includes extensive experience in Audio and MIDI production & composition. For the past decade he has been teaching Midi, Audio/Video Post-Production at the
Institute of Production and Recording (IPR) in downtown Minneapolis and is proud to have contributed to the successful careers of many IPR Alumni whom he personally taught and mentored. Another illuminating feat is that he was a founding member of the Twin Cities
Mobile Jazz Project, an after school program that was designed to expose adults and children to jazz culture, technology and the history of our great American art form, JAZZ!
Music education runs close to his heart, having been instrumental in the launch of an after school program called "IDEAWERKS", by which he taught, wrote and created a curriculum for the after school and summer programs at Powderhorn & East Phillips Parks in Minneapolis, MN aimed towards 12-18 year old students.
Through his own production company "Chancellor Music", Walter provides music production, songwriting and session work for local & national artists as well as film scores, radio and television advertising, corporate presentations and other private entities.
Even with such a busy schedule, Walter seeks to please his fans by pursuing bookings on worldwide jazz festival stages where he can showcase the center of his heart, sharing his artistry that comes so naturally to his next breath.
