About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To transform traveling to make music into making music to travel.

ABOUT ME

I've been living my childhood dream of being a musician full time now for about 12 years - still incredibly grateful for the opportunity to make my living that way.

While I have always enjoyed combining making music with my travels, I'm looking to move more deliberately in the direction of traveling the world and using music-making as the way of getting me there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This year I got to spend a bunch of time at Abbey Road studios in London - kinda like Mecca for me. I played in Studio 2 (the Beatles Studio) in February for an XM Radio performance and went back and mastered my new record there on my birthday in April. Probably not the type of thing that appeals to everyone, but for me it was a lifelong fantasy come true.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm taking the next few months to prepare to embark on some extended travel and I'm really looking forward to hosting during that time to learn from those already out there traveling.
