About

I am an energetic musician involved in multiple projects spanning genres from reggae to alternative music. I pride myself on my versatility across woodwinds and vocals, as well as my leadership and educational skills within the music community. Whether performing on stage or teaching, my goal is to positively influence and inspire others through music.

My experience includes performing with notable acts such as the BB King All-Stars and at festivals like the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. I also actively participate in community music initiatives and provide private lessons on various instruments, including clarinet, flute, oboe, and saxophone.
