Graduated in 2012 with a Music Production & Engineering degree from Berklee College of Music and my principle instrument was saxophone. Since then I have picked up bass. I have strong interest in cover/wedding bands as well as original music.
Also being a studio and live sound engineer, I have great enthusiasm for a wide range of music styles and passion for adapting tone and playing approach to match the song!
I stopped playing for a while because I was a full time audio engineer. For the last year I’ve been practicing and getting back into musician shape!

Influences
Huge range of influences! It is best to say that I simply love great music! That said, I love music with attitude and sass. Tower of Power, Muse, Michael Jackson, Israel & Newbreed, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, AC/DC, Journey, Kirk Whalum…
My interests are broad and I strive to be a flexible and adaptable musician. I love music that makes me FEEL and I try to play the same way.
