“My mom was a piano teacher and it was evident to me at a young age that I had a passion for music and the creative process in general. Guitar has always been perplexing and beautiful to me, from the early days of learning tunes and solos off of vinyl records that lead to my love of the jazz /rock guitar tradition with all of its iconic players. I really like the tone and harmony idiomatic to the guitar. I am inspired and motivated by the artists I work with in the studio and the musicians I play live with. That’s the life blood for me.”
