Music has been my lifelong passion. From the age of five years old I was teaching myself the piano, imitating what I heard others play. As I grew my father introduced music theory and jazz. Then I saw the movie The Natural, and I understood that music was a language able to express what words can not. I was swept away in the feelings, the emotions, the nostalgia for things I had never experienced, and I wanted nothing more than to stay there and listen. I've worked hard to craft a style unique to me, while paying homage to the enormous amount of influences I've been fortunate enough to know. I've played with some incredible musicians, I've performed in front of thousands, and now few things bring me greater joy than seeking out, finding, and crafting stories with sound.
