The first thing I remember doing is playing violin, and I hope fiddling is the last thing I do before I die. Nothing brings me more joy than creating music, and I always strive to do the same for my listeners.

I’ve been studying violin since age three, and have now journeyed from classical to bluegrass to rock, pop, and beyond. I also love learning about and sharing the history behind my music. While I specialized in the history of Ancient Greek Music as an undergraduate at Yale University, I’m now focusing on American Music in the Public Humanities Master’s Program at Brown.

During performances, I use my fiddle, feet, mouth, and mandolin to play songs crossing genres, countries, and even centuries. But whether I’m playing an original or cover, by myself or with fellow musicians, I always make music my own. This website gives you a preview of what I do–but my music is made for live performance, so come hear me in person!
