Overview
I am a saxophone player and multi-instrumentalist who is new to Gig Salad! I have a unique blend of influences from jazz and non-western styles, to synth-pop, hip hop, funk, and electronic music. I truly love performing music and no genre is off limits for me! My melodic style of playing has captivated audiences across the country in spaces ranging from recording studios, to intimate jazz venues, large-scale performing arts centers, festival stages, and plenty of unforgettable private event spaces.
I hold a BA of Music Entrepreneurship from the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and a MA of Jazz Performance and Pedagogy from the University of Colorado Boulder.

What to expect
If we work together on an event, you can expect absolute professionalism and flexibility. I offer a variety of saxophone-centric options, depending on the atmosphere you are aiming to create--I can do upbeat and dancy, peaceful and ambient, and everything in between. As for instrumentation, my expertise is in solo saxophone, saxophone with tracks, or any combination of instruments in duo, trio, or quartet format.
I wholeheartedly believe in working together across mediums to create the perfect atmosphere at an event, and am very open to feedback--I will do my best at all times to accommodate whatever requests you may have (musical or logistical). I truly love what I do, so no genres or song requests are off the table!
