SEEKING

ABOUT

I have been a 5-7 night a week gigging musician for 5 years now, graduating from Berklee College of Music in 2020 with a BM in Acoustic Bass Performance and from Longy School of Music in 2022 with a MM in Jazz & Contemporary Music. I have been gigging since I was 11 years old, so I have learned what it means to be a professional on a gig. I show up on time, prepared, and ready to play!
