ABOUT

**Musician Profile:**

I'm a musician with a diverse background, spanning classical and jazz to folk and country, with a primary focus on guitar for about 25 years. I achieved a gold medal for classical guitar at the grade 8 RCM level and have composed instrumental pieces and songs for acoustic guitar and voice as a singer-songwriter. While I've had some professional gigging experience, it's been about 10 years since my last one; mostly, I've been playing for fun with friends. Currently, I'm immersing myself in bluegrass, aiming to master this style. I'm eager to connect with mandolin, banjo, double bass, and other guitar players to jam, and I'm open to playing gigs again.
