I have been playing music since the age of 5 where I started the on piano. When I was 13, I got my first drum kit and began to diversify myself greatly as a musician. I am extremely proficient with computers & studio operations and thoroughly enjoy using these talents to aid in the band's productions. Having played with many different bands and musicians throughout my career, I am a very diverse musician with a vast musical background. These skills combined with my creativity make me a great contributor to any musical project.
