I'm a Grammy-nominated artist, guitarist, songwriter, producer, and creative entrepreneur with a passion for turning creativity into successful business ventures. I've dedicated my career not only to making music but also to building and managing every aspect of it—leading bands like a startup, running marketing and merchandise like a brand strategist, all while booking high-profile gigs and producing albums. I bring a unique blend of creativity, business acumen, and get-it-done mentality to every project. I'm now looking for a role where I can contribute this mix of skills to a team that values both vision and execution—and preferably one that doesn’t involve staging houses.
