I grew up in a musical family which moved around a lot; some of my earliest memories are of my father singing and playing guitar, or of sitting under the piano while my mother played. This music got into my soul and brain and I've been hooked ever since.
Born in NY, I grew up in the Cincinnati area, and have lived in Kentucky, Ohio, and Florida before coming back to New York, and I feel like many people have found a place in my heart on this journey. My interests are art, LOLcats, old Vespa scooters, walks on the beach, bad puns and jokes, and of course music.
I like to look at music the same way I look at life in general. We are all constantly taking in new experiences which influence how we see and move through the world. Everyone and every thing is a part of who we are, and therefore of the art and music we make. My goal is to enjoy the process and to try to give it back to people also, to strengthen the connection between musician and audience, or just between two people.
Mainly a bass player, I also enjoy other instruments and trying to push my own boundaries and comfort zones. I try to write songs and parts with this in mind.
