I'm as much or as little sound is needed. I take up no more than a 5'×5' space but can fill a room with a disco sound, a country 2-step or just a single gently picked background acoustic guitar.

I bring dynamics and a keen sense of "Read the room" to every performance. I can feel when the energy needs to come up or down and as a solo artist, don't need to work against any of the (sometimes competing egos) of a band setup.

Years of experience have helped me bring a realistic approach to the twists and turns that take place in a highly organized event. I now know how to "Just handle it" or "Await further instruction" both mindsets i find fun and exciting.

If hired, let me know you're "Must haves" and I will willingly take care of the rest.

I am a life long musician and performer. I've been in bands or musical projects since I was 10 years old and still love it more than anything i've tried. I'm a multi-instrumentalist with a huge focus and love of drums and percussion both in school and out.

I write and produce my own albums of original music and have since I was 14 years old, with a new EP entitled "Musings from an Island" coming out June 2026 of which I perform all the instrumentation. (Except the sax, I've got a friend who is sooooo good I wouldn't even try).

I was a cook and server for 7 years while also writing and performing and am well steeped in hospitality. I still love to cook (and do it often) but realized that the 2 fields are like dualing stages at Coachella. If Beck and Metallica both go at the same time,as hard as it is, I had to pick one and for me performing is a no brainer.

I am (in most cases) completely self sustained. I have an acoustic combo amp which takes up almost no space and will handle up to 400 watts of vocal and instrumental sound. At smaller events (without a P.A. system) I have allowed hosts to use my microphone to adress the audience for speeches or announcements of which it works beautifully.

If the event is in a VERY large space I can be miked, run a DI or both. Which (if necessary), I have drum microphones and additional instrument cables for both.
