About Liam
I'm Liam Wade — a musician, songwriter, producer, and mixer based in Peekskill, New York. I've spent over two decades writing, recording, producing, and performing across genres. Music isn't a hobby for me. It's been my full-time work and my main obsession since before I can remember.
I teach because sharing what I know is genuinely satisfying — and because the best thing I can give a student is the perspective of someone who actually does this for a living. You won't get a curriculum out of a textbook. You'll get real knowledge, honest feedback, and lessons that connect to the music you care about.
I teach beginner guitar for kids and adults at my studio in Peekskill and online. Songwriting and production lessons are available for teens and adults who want to learn to create original music from scratch.
What people say
“Recording with Liam has been an absolute joy! Entering his studio, I immediately felt at home and comfortable to perform. Liam provides the space for artists to create and helps capture their best work while simultaneously making the process fun! His knowledge and use of mixing equipment is impeccable and I highly recommend recording with him.”
— Marissa
“Working with Liam at NO MA was a fantastic experience. He gave great suggestions and contributed an incredible slide guitar and drums to my track. The studio is well equipped with a good selection of guitars, basses, pedals, synthesizers, percussion, drums, as well as some more obscure gems.”
