Eddie Aprile Jr. is a Phoenix, Arizona musician and emerging music producer who plays lead guitar and drums. He is completing an associate degree in Audio Production Technologies at Glendale Community College, with graduation expected in the spring 2027 semester. A graduate of Millennium High School in Goodyear, he brings performance, recording and live production together in everything he does.
Since early 2025 he has trained at School of Rock in Goodyear, performing in adult bands through themed seasons that include Best of the 2000s, Best of the 70s, Rock Legends, Pop Legends and Best of Britain. His instructors describe him as "an extremely talented musician across the board," and his music director notes that his bands count on him because he plays such a large role.
Beyond the school stage, he performs with the bands The Brain-Eating Amoebas, Bottom Feeders and Yawnfighter, and he works as an independent contract musician at live music events. On each job he helps set up the stage, connects and checks the equipment together with the rest of the team, and then performs on lead guitar or drums for the audience.
In the studio, he records, mixes and produces his own original songs and band projects using Logic Pro, Pro Tools and Reaper. He performs with an Epiphone SG, a Jackson King V and a Fender Stratocaster through a Boss Katana amplifier. When a bandmate left in the middle of a season, he stepped in and took over the guitar part, showing the adaptability live music demands.
Raised in a bilingual, Spanish-speaking household, Eddie has a working understanding of Spanish. Colleagues know him as easygoing, reliable and a go-getter, the kind of musician who shows up prepared and helps the whole group succeed. His goal is to build a career as a music producer and, in the future, to teach guitar to the next generation of players.
