I’ve been passionate about music and guitar since I was a young teenager. At 13, I picked up my older brother’s Squier Strat—a reliable “Toyota Corolla” of guitars—and quickly surpassed his skills, which led him to step away from playing. That early success fueled my love for the instrument, and I later upgraded to an Epiphone Les Paul, drawn to its rich tone. As a shy and self-conscious teen, I initially kept my music private, hesitant to share it with others. With encouragement from my brothers, I began to open up, even playing in a few worship group practice sessions, which helped me emerge from my shell. During college, my focus shifted to pursuing a corporate career, and for two years, I set aside creating music, though my love for listening to it never faded. After college, my passion for guitar reignited, leading me to incredible opportunities. I’ve had the privilege of playing in professional music studios in Austin, Texas, where I honed my skills in vibrant, creative environments. I also performed at Downtown Sounds in Northampton, MA, immersing myself in its inspiring music scene. These experiences deepened my connection to classic rock and reinforced my commitment to mastering the guitar.
