Summary

I have gotten to play hundreds of shows and collaborate with wonderful musicians and humans. From hair salons (yes hair salons) to weddings, country clubs, music festivals and venues the musical journey has been fun. I’ve had a lot of amazing learning experiences and continue to play and sing every day in the best city to do it- Los Angeles.
