Bio
Garrett Podgorski is a guitarist, composer, and producer bridging the gap between classical and popular music. Based in Los Angeles, Podgorski combines his rock-and-roll roots with classical lyricism, giving him a distinctly unique voice. Drawing on influences from Randy Rhoads to Johann Sebastian Bach, he integrates his individual sound into recordings and liveperformances around the world.
Podgorski has toured with a wide range of artists. In the fall of 2025, he played guitar and keyboard for Claire Rosinkranz, opening for Maroon 5 on their *Love Is Like* Tour across the United States. He has also toured with artists including Chrissy and Isabel Dumaa.
While pursuing his own artistic projects, Podgorski is also an in-demand session musician in Los Angeles, having worked on numerous projects for film and television. In the summer of 2025, he collaborated with composer Joy Ngiaw, recording guitar, mandolin, and bass for the score of *Solo Mio*, directed by Charles and Daniel Kinnane, featuring Kevin James. The film is set for release in February 2026.
Podgorski began studying classical guitar in 2017 and has since become an award-winning classical guitarist. He received first prize in the Gohar and Ovanes Andriassian Young Guitar Competition twice, in 2019 and 2020.
