ABOUT

I write and perform original music for my 'indie chamber ensemble'. (Think: Phoebe Bridgers goes to church). When you first hear, you think this could be an indie singer songwriter band, but the instrumentation (electric guitar + counter melodies from brass and strings) make the music sound lush and gorgeous like a classical chamber ensemble.

My hallmark 'sounds' are the use of surprising yet cohesive chord progressions (heavily influenced by my jazz training growing up, along with a nod to other influences I've picked up - classical, folk, Eastern...)

I am releasing a steady stream of music through 2023 starting in February including an EP.
