Story

Been singing since before I could talk, playing the guitar since I was 11 and have been writing and composing for as long as I could write. I began my career as a Background Singer and Session Artist. I also did some film production studies where I learned some transferable skills studio editing. I toured as a solo Folk Singer. I played in a carnival band as a percussionist. Joined "Hoffman Lenses" as a background vocalist. I have performed in 2 theatre productions and worked as a background actor in many film productions and TV series. Now I'm freelancing as a music producer as well as producing and performing as a solo act! I love creating and have dedicated my life to music. I'm always interested in developing other acts/artists, branding, coaching and collaborating. My current passions are writing musicals and "poperas".
