ABOUT

I've been playing guitar for about 19 years and listen to a wide range of music and can perform most genres. I am actively seeking work as a guitarist in any type of project out there. I have reasonable rates for studio sessions and gigs. I am willing and able to learn anything and I get along with everybody. I posted a few old videos of covers and an original song on be as a demonstration of my singing and playing capabilities. I look forward to meeting and collaborating with interesting new people and most importantly, doing what we all love! Please contact me directly at 313.283.9127 if you'd like.
