ABOUT
Currently committed as a keyboardist and songwriter with Blackjack Rose, an original band out of Philly. So, not looking to join a band right now. But I don't mind a friendly jam with a couple people on a Saturday or Sunday in my neck of the woods (Havertown). My basement studio is built for rehearsing and tracking. Potentially I can livestream from the basement as well through my twitch and be channels.
I've been playing keys on and off most of my life, had piano lessons at starting around age 8, stopped piano and started trumpet in junior high school. Got back to playing keys and writing music on my own at the end of high school, and continued on and off through college, doing occasional online collaborations with online forums.
Played trumpet for over 10 years, some college level, though I've been on hiatus since moving away from Florida almost 20 years ago. I am slowly rebuilding my chops as i find time.
Guitar, I've been learning on and off as I find time. A couple years now. I'm still very much a beginner, and still have a LOT to learn.
