Ever since I picked up a guitar for the first time, I knew I wanted to make music. Growing up, I was really into guitarists like Eddie Van Halen, Steve Morse, Steve Vai, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I'd go to the underground music shop in my town and get all the bootlegs I could find of those guys.
Eventually, I went to study at Berklee College in Boston. It's a very focused environment. A hundred percent music. The classes were educational, but the all night jams were the real learning experiences. It was around this time that I began to work on my singing. Picking that up was more out of necessity than anything else, but I've grown to really enjoy it.
After Boston, I moved to NYC where I still am today. I perform solo, with my band, and as a guitarist for others. I've performed and played with many talented artists including Gavin DeGraw, Ian Thornley, and Keith Harris.
haha i just saw this post! no ac in ny?? no nooo bueno! i am trying to come out for a weekend either in sep or oct so i def will be calling you if i do!! how are you?
Sorry if you haven't heard from me in a little while, but I just wanted to personally let you know that my debut album, "Right Where I Should Be" is finally available!!
I know it's been a long wait, but I am very excited to finally have it done, and I'm really hoping for some great support from all of my amazing friends on here.
Hopefully you'll want to download some tunes or grab a copy of the album (you can do so on my page).
Either way, I hope life is treating you well and don't be a stranger!
