Francisco Crow brings over 15 years of creative and technical experience across music, visual arts, and design. A Los Angeles native raised in a household steeped in performance and creativity, Francisco has built a career that spans multiple disciplines — each informing and strengthening the others.
Music & Performance Trained at Berklee College of Music and the Second City of Los Angeles, Francisco is a seasoned Latin percussionist with international touring experience alongside Grammy-winning artists. His work has taken him from intimate jazz clubs to major festival stages, and he brings that same level of precision and passion to his teaching. Francisco offers private percussion instruction for students of all levels, specializing in congas, hand percussion, and Latin rhythms. His approach is rooted in technique, musicality, and cultural context — helping students not just play, but understand the music they’re making.
Francisco’s performance background extends beyond music. With credits across musical theatre (West Side Story, Anything Goes, Baby), straight theatre, and independent film, he understands storytelling from every angle — whether it’s through sound, movement, or visual composition.
Photography & Visual Arts With over 10 years of professional photography experience, Francisco specializes in live music photography, portraiture, product work, and travel imagery. His portfolio spans work for independent musicians, small businesses, and creative professionals who need high-quality visuals that capture energy and authenticity. Francisco’s eye for composition is informed by his performance background — he knows how to anticipate the moment, find the light, and tell a story in a single frame.
