Meet the Act

I started my musical journey in Middle School as a percussionist for the school band. I quickly realized that I really enjoyed playing music and I had a natural ability to catch on and play as a drummer, even before I learned music theory. A few years later I bought my first guitar and I was instantly hooked. Practicing for hours a day starting at the age of 17, I quickly caught on and started performing locally with various garage bands. I studied jazz and music theory at VVCC in CA for a year and a half, where I gained enough music education to both teach and perform professionally.
