I got my start when I was six and picked up the guitar. From there I played in various local bands and wound up at the renowned Florida State University where I studied classical guitar. While there I expanded my knowledge of theory, practice approach, and audio production. In 2016 I had the opportunity to perform with George Clinton in an Old Time Ensemble through Florida State. After graduation I moved to Los Angeles where I cut my teeth in the audio engineering world and learned from the best about production and performance. Read More

As such, I am able to do similar feats with transcribing music onto sheet music, regardless of the instrument, genre, technical difficulty, etc. As an overall person, I am very well-rounded and approachable. I have a very eclectic taste in music, studio art, and film. Being of the experience, I have an especial inclination toward music of the West African diaspora. Aside from art, I find creativity with gardening, nature, and photography. Read More

That's the most important thing that I try to stick to in my teaching style, letting the student do the work and figure things out for themselves.
