I have been playing for around 20 years in different bands. For the last 5 years, I've been doing a solo show where I fell in love with the art of looping. If you have any questions, requests, or thought about my music please don't be afraid to share them with me. My biggest influences are Marc Rebillet, Reggie Watts, & Keller Williams. They have really been the driving force in my journey to loop.
