About Me

CURRENT MISSION

share music and experiences with people all over the world

ABOUT ME

I live in Cebu in the Philippines currently. I travel and play music :).

I am a laid-back guy, I was hitchhiking across Europe with my guitar, busking in the streets and playing a few shows here and there. I started in Sweden and ended up in Serbia. I ended up joining a band there and then moving with them to perform in Greece! I didn't really plan much, I just sort of let life pull me in whichever direction it wanted to. It worked pretty well!
Before that I hitchhiked/ride-shared my way across the USA from San Francisco to Austin. Woo! I was living in the Bay Area of California for a while in order to write some music with my friend.

I love playing, writing, and performing music so if you like my sound I can play you some tunes while I'm in town, or we should jam if you play too :)

I like meeting new people and hearing about their perspectives and experiences. I love reading, the outdoors, hiking, rock climbing etc...I still have so much to learn and see...

PHILOSOPHY

As long as you are happy and not hurting anyone, you are probably doing it right.

"I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of the universe and of our own being." -Einstein
