Bass player focused on groove, musical interaction, and improvisation. I enjoy playing in styles that blend jazz, funk, Afrobeat, Latin, and experimental music. I’m particularly interested in projects where musicians listen deeply and build something dynamic together rather than just reproducing parts.
Comfortable locking into solid pocket grooves or exploring more open, improvisational settings. Currently developing material and recording bass videos while connecting with musicians in Montréal.
Open to jam sessions, rehearsals, recording projects, and live performances with creative musicians.
