As the “new kid on the block” at Stephen Arnold Music, Wheeler brings broad and unusual talents to the team – he holds a dual degree in Music Composition and Economics from Washington and Lee University. Upon graduation in 2006, Wheeler received the prestigious Thomas J. Watson Fellowship for his research project, “Exploring the Components of Captivating Music,” which focused on ethnomusicology, music performance techniques and composition. The project took him on a thirteen-month, musical journey through Ireland, Spain, Morocco, Egypt, Uganda, South Africa, China, Mongolia and Nicaragua. His passion and extensive knowledge of all forms of music, with a heavy concentration in contemporary styles, brings a wealth of colors to the SAM team’s canvas.
