About
How It Started
I picked up a cello in school orchestra — and haven’t really put it down since. Then I learned a variety of other instruments. I got a bachelor's degree in music. I started recording, composing, arranging, and mix engineering.
Years ago, I started performing live, with just the cello, and realized that people often want more color in the mix. We often want harmony, rhythm, and variety to round out the experience.
So... I started to combine my passions: making recordings and playing cello. As of today, I've completed over 100 songs like this.
My Approach
You’ll find me in my studio most days, layering instruments to support cello melodies to tell stories, removing everything that doesn’t belong.
From the guitar and mandolin in Wagon Wheel, to the piano, bass, and drums in Easy Like Sunday, to the dramatic instrumentation of Young & Beautiful — all of these sounds are from my hands. Details? Click here.
What To Expect
“Banger after banger” and “all my favorite songs, taking me back and it's making my day”, audiences have remarked. Soothing is the word I continue to hear (not to be confused with boring or sad). I have a huge catalog of fun, calm, and dramatic music to create a crowd-pleasing blend for weddings and virtually any other time and place.
What you'll experience is a live cello performing with intentional recordings, in a simple, amplified setup.
But, a solo cello?
Sometimes people are not quite sure. That's understandable, as what I do truly is unique. If that's you, I invite you to take a chance on how modern and relatable a cello can be. Based on nearly a decade of experience performing this music, I'm confident you and your guests will enjoy an experience that's not only beautiful, but genuinely inspiring and moving.

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. I soon knew there’s no place I’d rather be than here in ABQ.
By 2018, I was performing full-time as a solo music-preneur, and have been ever since.
It means a lot to dedicate my life to music and our community — to soothe, enhance, entertain, and inspire.
I love camping and the outdoors. Dogs love me. (It’s mutual.)
And I love creating the kind of music that stays with people — long after the event is over.
