About / Biography

With a rich background in instrumental and vocal performance, studio production, and live stage experience, I've shaped a career that spans live gigs, recording sessions, and cover bands that keep crowds on their feet. My journey began with raw creativity, crafting songs that evolved into a lifelong dedication to music. Over the years, I've built a reputation for developing my skills both on stage and in the studio, producing not only for my projects but also for a variety of artists, bringing out the best in every vocal and instrumental track.

On stage, my band performances are fueled by spot-on vocals, harmonies, solo finesse, and an ability to revive classics with precision and flair. I've had the pleasure of performing in cover bands that explore everything from iconic rock hits to soulful anthems, engaging audiences with a repertoire that spans genres and eras. Whether in the studio or live on stage, I thrive on delivering music that resonates deeply and keeps audiences coming back for more.
