About Garrett
Garrett Nelson founded G78 Music in April 2020. The logo was influenced by Garrett’s father, who passed away from colon cancer on April 14th of 2020. The letter “G” stands for his name, and “78” for the year of his Porsche 911 that he and his father built through Garrett’s high school career. In 2025, Garrett rebranded to Yokwe Music. His father spent a part of his life on an island in the Marshall Islands, which became a highlight he always looked back on. The word “Yokwe” translates from Marshallese to “hello,” “goodbye,” and “I love you.” A memento and symbol, Garrett holds close to his heart as he pursues a music career that his father always supported.
Born in 2003 and adopted shortly after, Garrett grew up in Cody, Wyoming, graduating with a little over 100 students in his class. Garrett participated in every musical class offered at his school. He performed in all ensembles, going on to play for Wyoming All-State ensembles with saxophone as his instrument of choice.
Garrett went on to study at Montana State University, pursuing his bachelor’s in music technology with a focus on Film Scoring while studying under accomplished musicians such as Yamaha Performing Artist Wonki Lee and Composer Eric Funk.
Having graduated in December of 2025, he plans on continuing his education with intensive abroad scoring programs and applying to his dream Screen Scoring Program at the University of Southern California, Thornton School of Music.
Garrett hopes to hear his music on the big screen one day.

Hello, my name is Garrett. I am 22. I've played music my whole life, went to school for my BA in Music Technology which I recently graduated with on December 25. During my degree program, I studied privately with a Yamaha Saxophone Performing Artist for 4 years and played in top-level groups such as the Wind Symphony Ensemble, Chamber Saxophone Quartet, and Spirit of the West Drumline/Pep Band for 4 years! I plan on attending graduate school in the coming future, but I am looking to teach students interested in the performing arts, composition, and music production which I've studied and experienced rigorously for the last 5 years. I have written a number of pieces for ensembles and groups, and I am continuing to practice and study on my own until I attend grad school. In the meantime, I also create content on social media to share my love for music. My teaching approach follows the basis of the ever-changing industry in music. A lot of things have become less important to the growth and success of aspiring individuals. This means I am an advocate of the music fundamentals, but I will not ignore small details that may benefit a student based on their character and skills! Each student is different and will therefore be taught differently to meet their needs. My primary teaching subjects are:
-Saxophone Classical
-Percussion
-Music Production Mixing and Mastering, Sound Design, DAW Software
I will teach the following if a student has a very strong desire to pursue it though it is a complex and rigorous subject:
-Composition
Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions!
