Available to hire
I am an acclaimed guitarist, composer, and performing artist known for dynamic live performances and versatility. I specialize in jazz, Latin American music, and contemporary genres, with virtuosic skill on electric, nylon-string, and acoustic guitars, as well as the Cuban tres. My artistic practice focuses on creating evocative musical narratives, from composing bespoke scores for film and interactive media to crafting concert music.
My creative work is enriched by collaborations with internationally acclaimed artists and performances at esteemed venues worldwide. As an educator, I translate this real-world artistic and performance experience into mentorship, guiding emerging and professional musicians in developing their unique voice and achieving technical excellence. I excel in adapting musical ideas to suit each artist’s creative vision, emphasizing artistic authenticity, stylistic versatility, and a collaborative process. I have delivered one-to-one guitar and music tuition to students aged 7–17+, tailoring lessons to individual needs and levels.
