About Me

ABOUT ME

Hailing from Indianapolis, Indiana, I am a singer-songwriter, and guitar player who started self-learning my way around a guitar at 14 years old. By that time, I discovered he was drawn into and emerged in Indianapolis' eclectic music and art scene that found him at everything from house shows, underground and basement sets, to DIY venues. My appreciation of music allowed me to mesh with many outfits across genres, from Hip-Hop, to Punk, to Metal, to Zydeco, before settling into my own skin. This expression found him re-igniting my love and passion for blues music, writing and composing his own music. Currently living and jamming in Brooklyn, have found a steady rhythm between offering my medicine at shoes across the New York City metro area and producing more songs.

For two months, I lived and work on a guerilla garden in Stockbridge Vermont, as well as Making art work, hosting local events and working at the local farmers market. I travel around the country playing shows as much as I can. I truly love to perform and play for people.
