Hello! I'm a Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist who books for live shows and recording sessions as well. I play guitar and all the assortments/flavors of guitar (acoustic, electric, 12-string, baritone, 6 string banjo, etc.), piano, keyboards, synthesizer, and bass. On top of being a musician since I was a child, I've been in the music industry for over 20 years now and graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2014 with a dual instrument performance degree (guitar/piano). I also wear many other music/sonic hats as well including music production, mixing, engineering; as well as sound design/SFX, VO mix, sync, and foley. Thank you for your time and I hope to work together!

You can expect me to match the vibe of the event/show/gig. If you need me to be more in the background, I have no problem doing that; if you also need me to be the center of attention and keep people engaged and entertained, I can do that as well.
Thank you for visiting my biography. I started playing flute at age 8, piano at age 10, guitar/bass at age 13, and never looked back. I stayed active as a church musician until about 18 years old and then moved into the teaching and gigging industry right away and maintained my financial life doing every and any gig possible. I keep professionalism at the top of my list and ensure everyone is happy and satisfied with my services. Thank you!
For most events/gigs/shows I will need some sort of amplification. That is usually provided by whoever is hiring me or the band or group I'm with. However, if there is a need for me to bring amplification, I can do that at the appropriate rate.

I have an extensive library of genres of music I've played. Depending on your event we can talk through what genres you are leaning towards and what the gig will call for. We can work out a "requests" list or a "don't play" list as well.
