Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up listening to rock and heavy metal, but I'm a classical musician at my core.
Nowadays I keep up my chops playing improvised swing manouche music on the violin with my group.
When I have the time, I enjoy sitting down to literature. Khalil Gibran's book changed my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once asked to perform for a Holocaust memorial concert playing an instrument made in a concentration camp.
