Bio
I was born and raised in NY, but have been calling Wichita, KS home for over 2 decades.
I work to weave soulful narratives into genre blurring arrangements that are reminiscent of the
S/S’s from the 60’s and 90’s. I started started to play guitar and write, as an adult, I
managed to create a FT career out of his solo performances by 25. My sound is defined by
growing up on the streets of NY. With performances ranging from Sundance to Studio B at
Abbey Road Studios in London. I wish to leave lasting impression on the ears, hearts and
minds of all who have experience my music.
