I’m 22 years old originally from Chicago, IL and am a professional studio/live drummer. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in the spring of 2023 and have received formal music theory and percussion training for multiple styles. My goal is to make all music I play feel and sound the best that it can. I also currently gig full time with 2 groups, and off and on with a third, but always looking for more work and musicians that want to elevate their career.
