About
Raised in a small town in New Jersey just minutes from the Big Apple, I was exposed to many different genres of music. From Urban beats to Rhythm and Blues from across the river in Newark, to the Edgy riff roaring sounds of Rock and Industrial in New York City. I’ve also developed deep roots in Latin folk and Classical music at an early age. I have been playing the guitar for nearly twenty years and I still continue to learn something new each time I pick it up. There is nothing more satisfying than being able to have the ability to learn how to play along with your favorite song, but the feeling is magnified when you create an original piece. Playing the guitar has allowed me to channel my feelings, organize my thoughts and think outside the box. My true passion is to perform for an audience, whether it be one person or an auditorium full of people who share the same love for music. It takes a single song to inspire a person and I want to be able to share that passion so that others can do so as well, because in the end, there is nothing more fun and satisfying than doing something you love.
