As a seasoned performer and multi-instrumentalist, I bring a wealth of live performance expertise to the table. With advanced proficiency in guitar, bass, keyboard/synth, drums, and vocals, I possess the versatility and skill to complement any touring band. Whether it’s delivering captivating performances on stage or providing musical direction behind the scenes, I bring energy, passion, and professionalism to every live performance.
Additionally, my expertise extends to session work, where I excel in performing on records across various genres. Whether it’s adding a soulful guitar solo, laying down a funky bassline, laying down ‘in the pocket’ drums, or crafting intricate keyboard melodies, I bring a dynamic and expressive touch to every recording session. With a keen understanding of the creative process and a commitment to serving the song, I collaborate closely with artists and producers to bring their musical vision to life, delivering performances that elevate and enhance the overall sound of the project.
