Every musician has a starting point  — Ironically, I wanted to play the drums.

Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember and some of my earliest memories revolve around music. My mom would crank up the sound system to clean the house, and my dad would turn up the radio while driving around and say, "Wait until you hear this song." I grew up dancing around the living room, pretending to play guitar and rock the crowd in block party talent shows and putting on performances for family parties.

When I was 14, my grandparents gave me my first guitar for Christmas — not a drum set. That guitar sparked a passion that's been with me ever since, it’s changed the direction of my life and gave me a way to express something I'd been feeling since I was a kid and ultimately blessed me with the life of performing live music.

Playing music has never just been a hobby for me, it's all I've ever wanted to do. It’s led me to play in neighborhood bars, private events, first dances and iconic Philadelphia venues like the TLA and Trocadero.

You can see my play, throughout the Philadelphia Suburbs and the Jersey shore with an acoustic guitar, a microphone, playing a mix of alternative rock, country, and crowd favorites. Whether it's a neighborhood bar, a private event, or a local venue, my favorite part is the same as it's always been: sharing music with people and creating moments they'll remember long after the last song ends.

At the end of the day, I'm grateful I get to do something I love. If you find yourself at one of my shows,

Live music has given me incredible opportunities, lifetime memories, and new friendships. I'm grateful every time someone chooses to spend part of their night with me. I hope to see you at a show soon, enjoying the music as much as I do.
