The music of CJ Villa generally falls into one of two classes:

The first class comprises instrumental tunes, usually a combination of keyboard and guitar, usually up-tempo and 3 to 8 minutes in length. For example, the song clips on this site include:

- Waipio, which is a 3-part composition about a long hike. Instruments include soprano sax, synthesizers, and percussion. The first section is mellow, the second brooding, and the third uplifting, corresponding generally to the sequence of feelings you might experience on a long, challenging trek.

- The Rain Cloud of Kona is a four-part piano-based composition which begins with a moody theme, progresses to a brief blues interval, builds to a crashing climax and ends with a lilting finale.

The second class comprises vocal songs, rock/pop/jazz based, with recent forays into country styles. These songs are generally up-tempo and 3 to 5 minutes in length.
