I am a gigging musician with experience in various genres and contexts. I have multiple years of experience as both a bandleader and a sideman, and have a high degree of proficiency on the electric and acoustic guitar.
Starting in High School, I have played guitar in a variety of musical contexts which include -
Playing on Sunday mornings at church
Accompanying different school choirs
Various cover gigs (including experience playing festivals)
I have also volunteered as a musical director for my church, which includes facilitating rehearsals, making arrangements, and coaching other musicians.
The Louis Armstrong Award honors the outstanding jazz musician at each high school. It is given out once a year to recognize high musical achievement and dedication to one's jazz program. Past award recipients include Pat Metheny, John Mayer, Dave Weckl and many other legendary musicians. I received this award in 2022, the year I graduated high school
