I have been playing drums since I was thirteen or so and i learned from my father who's main influences were 60's/70's southern rock. I began to develop more into heavier music in the late 90's and really enjoyed it. I played with a three piece band with some friends strictly for fun and it was! We were very progressive and dabbled in punk rock and funk. Eventually we all went separate ways and I moved to Miami around 2008. While there I met up with another three piece band and we mainly played reggae and blues. Again we went separate ways. Around 2013 I enrolled in college and majored in drum performance. While there I studied jazz and swing blues in ensembles and fusion bands. I played gigs with all experiences listed and had a blast doing so! I love to play music and love to see when people are feeling the beat and groovin the bass line. It gets me pumped and nothing can hinder me from pursing that feeling.
