About

With over six years of professional experience as a keyboardist and pianist, I bring versatility, musical sensitivity, and a deep understanding of worship and gospel music to every session. Whether live or in-studio, I’m confident supporting artists, choirs, or full bands with rich chord voicings, dynamic improvisation, and solid sight-reading skills.

I’m easy to work with, quick to adapt, and committed to delivering high-quality musical contributions that serve the heart of a project—whether it’s a church recording, live worship set, or creative collaboration. I also offer multi-instrumental support, including guitar, drums, and basic vocals, and am comfortable working remotely or on-site.

If you’re looking for a dedicated player who brings both musicality and heart to your next project, I’d love to hear from you.
