A man of the musical arts, Vaughn Fahie founded his own musical production company, "S4G Productions", while continuing to master his craft as a consummate musician. Beginning at the early age of 8, his first lessons were on the accordion. In that same year his grandfather bought him a piano and he began to take lessons. He quickly began to play songs by ear and create his own music "arrangements". In the fifth grade he was introduced to his first woodwind instrument, the clarinet. He continued to develop his playing skills on the clarinet through junior high and high school marching band. Meanwhile, he was continually developing his keyboard talent while playing organ for church service...picking up chords and key changes by listening to the more experienced piano player across the stage (Bishop Jeff Davis now his Senior Pastor). In the 11th grade, Vaughn was approached to join the jazz band, as they needed a second alto saxophone player. He was encouraged that it would be an easy transition to go from clarinet to sax. As he played as second chair alto, he began to play out on the spot improvised solos and soon was moved to the lead alto chair. In that same year his father recognized and supported Vaughn's love for playing the sax and purchased a professional model sax for Christmas...hence, the beginning of Sax 4 God.
After high school Vaughn later marched in the drum line for Riverside Community College Marching Tigers band for two years and served as the bass line captain. Vaughn graduated from Riverside Community College with his Associates of Science degree in Mathematics, and then went on to receive his BA degree in Music Business from Cal Poly Pomona University (a member of the first graduating class of this new degree). Vaughn self-produced his first solo CD, "Stirring Up the Gift" in 1998 and followed with a single, "Blessed Assurance" in 2000 . In December 2004 he produced his maxi-single "Enjoy" in his recording studio. A long awaited Christmas CD was released early December 2005. The latest release recorded with the S4G Music Jazz Ensemble, entitiled "S4G Music", was released in September 2006. All Cds are available on CD Baby.com.
Vaughn has devoted his time, energy and talents to a wide range of areas in the music industry. As a veteran of the arts he has performed in weddings, banquets, pop shows, community events, television broadcast, gospel concerts, conventions and numerous studio recordings. Nevertheless, his true passion is taking part in the development of new and upcoming talent from behind the scenes as a sound engineer/producer. This is the purpose for S4G Studios, which offers a full studio experience to anyone in need of laying tracks, recording, mixing, and mastering their own CD.
Not only is Vaughn a seasoned musician, sound engineer, and teacher, but also a dedicated community leader serving as an associate pastor, musician and youth pastor of his local church. Now as an accomplished recording artist, he has begun to share his wisdom and God given talents with the public on a larger scale. Enjoy the music, the smile and the humble spirit of Vaughn Fahie.
