Up to age the age of 15, I've always loved music and instruments. Earlier than the exposure to instruments I now play, I used to dream of playing the violin. Unable to own one of my own because of the cost of the instruments, I found myself listening to many types of classical music, focused on the violin or piano. Doing this gave me a different approach to guitar
I'm now approaching the time in my life where the styles of music I've played over the years are finally starting to come together, and I think I've finally found my own sound, which will be heard very soon in my debut CD I'm currently working on. I'm very proud of this CD and really enjoyed recording it... I hope you feel the same way after experiencing the sounds of The Guitarwiz.
Now with a bit of music history behind me, I aspire to be a studio musician in the movie business as well as live performance work. I am always seeking new opportunities in this area and open to new ideas.
