About

I have been playing and performing for 26 years. My focuses include odd metered patterns, sequences and phrases based on numbers and metric modulations, improvisation, experimental sounds, metal and dissonance. I am originally from Richmond Virginia and my wife and I currently reside in Brooklyn, NY. I have a BM in Jazz Performance from Virginia Commonwealth University. I currently write and record with many projects in and around the New York City area. I have gigged up and down the east coast including New York City, Philadelphia, Richmond, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Raleigh and performed with musicians from across the world. I released my first demo in 1999 and have recording experience as both a band leader and a sideman. I have composed music for various ensembles from duo projects to seventeen piece big band charts as well as for film. I have been a professional drum instructor for 20 years and currently have two music studios in Brooklyn, NY where I spend most of my time. I love working with other musicians and developing new ideas and concepts. Music and Art is a reflection of my life.
