Having been exposed to some of the greatest and most successful commercial music in history, I have found his passion for support, creativity, and in-the-moment decision making with the music being made. Currently I am part of a band Chasing Tonya, an alternative garage-rock band from Nashville, Tennessee that has a few singles and small EP released. With them I have performed at numerous music hot spots in Nashville such as The End, The Eastroom, The Basement East and The Basement and the Mockingbird Theater in Franklin. Since joining Chasing Tonya in early 2021, I have gone on to play with many more bands in the Nashville circuit wanting to perform live and put their music out to the world, some of which include Keep the Eleven, Platinum Moon, The YEARB4, and most recently a 7-week tour of the U.S./Canada with singer James Bruner opening for U.K. based rockstar Barns Courtney. Growing up in the West-Chicago area I was exposed to the alternative music of those around my town, as well as listening to older blues and R&B into rock and roll, all while studying and playing deep-rooted jazz standards that became a fusion of genre-crossing techniques and knowledge that carved the path to understanding dozens of different styles and methods, all of which I have been performing/recording for school, other projects, or just for fun since I was 9 years old.
