After playing the electric guitar for many years in bands, covering a wide (and eclectic!) range of genres, I've now been playing nylon strings almost exclusively for the past 15 years. A student of folk, country, classical, rock, jazz and pop, I've managed to develop a fairly unique fingerstyle playing technique which draws influence from all of these genres. 

I now sing lead vocals and play, presenting a versatile and musically eclectic show displaying a high level of musicality and an interesting collection of covers and original music.

About Me.

​I've spent years as a professional musician and teacher, exploring rock, blues, jazz, Latin, and reggae styles. Over time, my love for the acoustic guitar deepened—but it truly evolved when I picked up my first nylon-string guitar. I hadn't planned on it, but once I had it in my hands, I knew I had to master its unique styles (or at least approximate them!). That journey led me into flamenco and classical music, though I never let go of my passion for country and fingerstyle guitar—even if nylon strings weren’t the traditional choice. Someone recently called me "Flamenco Johnny Cash," and honestly, I’ll take it. ​ I’ve always been drawn to the percussive energy of fingerstyle maestros, while also admiring the speed and rhythmic fire of gypsy and flamenco players. Over time, I fused these influences into my own sound, creating a style that bridges traditions and techniques. I've spent the last few years working on my voice and now I’ve now dedicated myself to crafting a set that brings all these elements together. My repertoire spans carefully arranged covers alongside original compositions—some written for guitar, others adapted from my electronic creations. ​ I often hear people say they wish they could play. As someone who can, I feel a responsibility to share my music with those who want to listen. I hope you find joy in this page—whether just a little or something that truly resonates. Maybe you’ll come see me live, invite me for a jam, or simply stay tuned as I add more recordings. However you engage, I appreciate you being here. ​ Thank you, and I hope to bring you some musical joy soon!
