Summary
With over 10 years of experience as a working musician, I have performed, recorded and taught extensively from a very young age. I have experience in playing a variety of musical styles including pop, rock, jazz, soul. I have gotten the opportunity to dive into each genre alongside professional bands specialized in each of the individual styles. I have also had the opportunity to learn from highly skilled professors throughout my life which have left a significant mark on my development, not only as a performer, but also as an educator.
