ABOUT

I’m a native of the Oakland, California bay area. I began playing guitar at age 12 and studying music and performance. I have a lifetime of experience playing shows recording, touring. I have a strong stage presence and can sing both backup and lead. Don't be fooled by my age, I work to keep the flame burning, always a team player.
