Clifford Dunn: Where Music Meets Code
Hello! I’m a musician and software developer recently moved to Kansas City from Seattle, blending creativity with logic in everything I do.
With three degrees in music—including studies in Europe—I’ve performed everywhere from grand concert halls to intimate (and occasionally dingy) bars, for audiences of one to a thousand. Music isn’t just my profession; it’s how I connect with the world.
But life has twists: After a decade in software engineering (sparked by a Bachelor’s in Computer Science), I recently returned to music full-time. Don’t mistake this for leaving tech behind—I’m still passionate about coding and believe in its power to drive positive change. Whether you need a composer, a skilled developer, a dynamic performer, or just want to chat about the intersection of art and algorithms, I’d love to connect.
Let’s make something great—onstage or on-screen.
