I’m a 27-year-old musician and school music teacher who recently moved to the Toronto area and is looking to connect with serious, talented musicians. I have a strong background in classical music and formal musical training, but over the years I’ve spent most of my time playing blues, while exploring everything from rock and indie to funk, pop, and beyond.
I’m passionate about great music regardless of genre, and I value musicianship, creativity, and a strong work ethic. Whether it’s writing original material, developing arrangements, rehearsing regularly, or performing live, I’m always eager to grow as a musician and contribute to a solid project.
My goal is to join an established band or collaborate with dedicated musicians who are committed to creating something meaningful and performing regularly. I’m new to the city, highly motivated, and looking to start playing with talented people as soon as possible.

Influences
My influences are rooted in the blues, with artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, Albert King, Freddie King, Muddy Waters, and Eric Clapton shaping my foundation. I’m also drawn to blues-influenced rock such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Allman Brothers Band, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. More modern inspirations include The Black Keys, Marcus King, and John Mayer. I also enjoy indie and alternative bands like Cage the Elephant and Arctic Monkeys, as well as grunge and hard rock acts such as Nirvana and Audioslave. Overall, I’m inspired by strong songwriting, groove, and expressive guitar-driven music across genres.
