My musical journey is fun! it started with Prince then Metallica, along comes Stevie Ray Vaughan and lastly Pantera. That range defines me musically.
As a bassist with over 30 years behind me, my soul resonates with Cliff Burton. Guitar came later—acoustic and electric but not through theory or formal technique. I never studied. I listened, played, pushed, until it sounded like me.
Music was always in me—before I knew what it was. I’ve been singing longer than I can remember. Cello came first in elementary school, then trumpet in junior high. Bass guitar found me in high school, and with it, my first thrash metal band and the rest unfolded from there. Allowing me to Record and tour internationally.
Vocals weren’t a conscious choice. They started out of necessity and transformed from there. In April 2014, I was hit with chronic vertigo. It changed everything. After learning to live with it, I went back to school to take control of the one constant that kept me grounded: music. In 2022, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Audio Production from Full Sail University—not just to hone my craft, but to own every frequency of it.
my real musical map reads like this, Prince and Stevie Ray Vaughan laid my foundations. They taught me passion, discipline, and the value of staying true to myself. But Metallica and Pantera informed me on how i wanted to deliver it. I tend to write my lyrics while listening to classical music.
I don’t want to be seen as much as I want to be heard. My music speaks first.
