ABOUT

I'm a trumpet player with a great quality of sound. I play a load of different styles of music including Jazz, Classical, Hip Hop, Rock, Mariachi & Banda, Ska, Reggae, Funk, Blues, Movie music, Church/Gospel music, Big Band/Dixie, and anything I lend my ear to. Site reading is pretty good, but I don't require sheet music to catch a lick. I'm proficient with scales and can improv if needed. My range is decent and can play Double Gs in the upper register if the music/band calls for it, and sometimes higher. I don't need the spotlight though and can match sounds within all sections of any ensemble I play with. My goal is to make great sounding, quality, and memorable music for an audience with musicians that want the same thing. And with that, establish a stable career I can be happy and move forward with.
