About

I’m a multi-instrumentalist and touring musician based in Los Angeles, with well over a decade of experience performing at the highest levels of the modern music industry. My primary instrument is bass, and I also perform on electric & acoustic guitar, keyboards, and synths, delivering tight, versatile performances across genres.

Most notably, I spent years as the bassist for Kelsea Ballerini, contributing to her rise from an emerging artist to an arena-headlining, multi-platinum act. I collaborate closely with musical directors, production teams, and creative staff to deliver world-class live shows, while mentoring musicians in rehearsal, touring, and studio settings to develop real-world, industry-ready skills.
