I'm a music professional with 15+ years of international experience in live performance, band leadership, and music production. I've performed in high-volume show environments, collaborated with large production teams, and delivered audience-driven performances designed for cruise ship operations. Beyond performing, I produce and write music with a track record including Mote projects such as Vampires (EP, 2025) and End This Ride (2020), plus selected singles (2021–2024). I also work across studio and broadcast contexts, from teleprompter operation for Riot Games to TV placements for Shameless and Run The Burbs.
