Music has been the foundation of my life since I started performing professionally at 18. I’m a touring bassist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who’s spent years traveling, recording, and collaborating—building discipline, patience, deep listening, and a strong ability to adapt in any room. I bring a pocket-first, song-focused approach to both live performance and studio work. Whether I’m shaping arrangements, writing and producing original material, or supporting other artists in remote sessions, my goal is always the same: help create music that feels honest, intentional, and alive.…Music has been the foundation of my life since I started performing professionally at 18.
