About
Since I was 12, people have told me I have a gift. Family, friends, orchestra teachers, professors. I took that seriously. I still do.
I spent years learning the tradition, all the while finding my own voice on the cello. When people ask why I don't play in a symphony, it's not that I can't. It's that for me, music has always come from the inside out. Freedom to explore the cello and all the other instruments I play – that's where I live.
I work on my songs until they make me feel something. That kind of art always finds an audience. Last week a 92 year old lady said she was pleasantly surprised at all the new sounds she heard me do with a cello. I'm classically trained, but I'm an original.
To create this music I use instruments, crafting each song by hand in my studio. I layer strings, piano, guitar, bass, drums, and more. I perform the cello melody live. That's the show.
A Bit About Me
I grew up in the Land of Enchantment. Moved away after college to start a career in engineering. Learned that I need work that feels meaningful to me. I left my first career behind to pursue my dream of a life in music.
In 2017, I returned to Albuquerque to follow this new path. By 2018, I was performing this music full time, and have been ever since. There’s no place I’d rather be than here in New Mexico.
I love camping and the outdoors. Dogs love me. It's mutual.
