Alan Hanslik
Alan Hanslik is a multi-instrumental musician, composer and producer. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, he grew up surrounded by music, with each family member playing a different instrument.
Alan played piano, drums and accordion, and as a teen joined his father’s band playing drums. He also played in local bands of different genres, eventually touring with Jon Washington, of the British band the Fortunes.
A move to Los Angeles provided opportunities to play in jazz and experimental performance groups, as well as study with well-known musicians. But the purchase of a grande piano promoted Alan to let go of drums and start composing. He has created scores for movies, commercials and video games.
Alan also has a strong technical background and is adept at creating electronic synthesizers. Together with former NASA co-worker Steven Moniz they formed a duo, Hanslik & Moniz Experiment, producing several unique genre-crossing albums.
