Overview

I am a singer/songwriter based out of Sacramento, CA with a knack for solo acoustic performance. Whatever vibe you’re looking for, I can make it happen. I feel that music is such an awesome way to bring people together, and I’d be honored to help make your event the best it can be.

I play both covers and originals, and do take specific requests if enough time allows for me to learn them. This is a solo project and not a full band.
