Jazz singer with an accompanying trio available for restaurant gigs, club dates, private events, or weddings. We perform a mix of straight ahead standards, original tunes, and covers in a r&b/neo-soul setting. The lead vocals are unique and versatile, not sounding like the typical male jazz singer. We are a thoughtful group: the objective is not just to play loud, but to explore and communicate ideas that materialize in the moment. Our goal is to musically connect with our listeners, so that we can provide the audience with a fantastic listening experience.

A youthful twist on historic Jazz standards. A musically thoughtful approach to playing improvisational music. We also take modern tunes and translate them into a jazz context.
I moved to New York in 2014 to study Vocal Jazz full time at The City College of New York (Macaulay Honors College). On top of being a full time student, I've assisted independent singer/songwriter Elaine Romanelli and currently work retail in Soho.
I'm also available for solo singing/piano gigs. I play standards with original arrangements, along with my own tunes.
