Bio
Zekai “Kai” L. is a NYC-based guitarist, composer, and producer who brings stage and studio know-how into clear, outcome-driven lessons. Kai teaches rock, pop, metal, and funk (with indie/alt and blues as needed). Students don’t just play songs—they learn to make the guitar take multiple roles (rhythm foundation, lead lines, harmony/texture) and to shape music with a screen-scoring mindset (build, release, timbre, story). Each unit ends with a mini performance or simple recording to show real progress. Credits include New Moon (SVA Annual Best Film) and a VIVO product launch theme, among others.
