Jay Sambuco
Musician, Guitarist, Educator
As a graduate of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, I have extensive education and knowledge on the finer aspects of guitar playing. I am a founding member of NXCRE / The Villains, a band with over 100M streams across platforms. Our song "Usurper" was on the Billboard Rock Charts for >6 weeks. I love to share my experience in songwriting and guitar knowledge with everyone! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player looking to up your chops, I will create a custom lesson plan for you. Join me either online or in person (New York City).

I'm Jay Sambuco, guitarist and musician for the New York alternative rock band NXCRE and The Villains. My musical style is rooted in my New York upbringing and a deep love for grunge and metal. It's a huge part of who I am.
Outside of music, I'm all about the outdoors, eating good foods and challenging myself. Whether I'm hiking, running, or lifting, I thrive on activities that push my limits. Travel is also a huge part of my life, whether it's discovering a new city or simply exploring somewhere nearby. I'm embracing every part of this journey, and I'm excited to see where it leads next.
