I started taking piano lessons after I picked up Bill Withers' "Lean on Me" a few days after I turned six years old. Since the first day, I've been working to hone my passion, and the skills I use to achieve sounds that are unique, appropriate, and well-performed.

I've been trained classically for twelve years, and I've been studying jazz theory for the last four. From my hometown in Alabama to my current residence in Nashville, I've played and recorded with bands of drastically different styles.

Here's some examples of my work:

- Belial (Punk from Decatur, AL)

- Solo Funk (My own funk tune w/ Keybass and Rhodes)

I'm currently available for booking in sessions and live performance.

I'm enrolled at Dark Horse Institute for Audio Engineering, and I've been running project studios for the last three years. I'm new to the business, and I'm excited to get you the best product possible at a reasonable rate. As a student and intern, I have access to the state-of-the-art Dark Horse studios in Franklin, Tennessee, as well as my own small profile mobile rig for demo sessions and on-site tracking.
