ABOUT
My companionship with music has always been personal and relatively monogamous, but we've decided to try a more 'open relationship'. Life is too short not to get others in on the fun, right?
In all seriousness, I was a drum line section leader for 3 years of high school, learned guitar my 4th year, got into some light production and recording in college, and now I'm just trying to reconnect with my musical soul and continue to grow. I've always been a hobbyist singer, but in the past month I've started to practice and exercise my vocals regularly. I think I could be a great asset to any musical group, even if you just need someone to play your shaker.
I'm very excited for the chance to meet more experienced musicians that I can learn from. Get in touch with me if you'd like an extra hand with your act!
