I have been playing electric guitar for over 12 years. Over the last 5 years I have expanded my education to cover a broad range of disciplines including classical voice, piano, and trumpet. I study music theory and composition as well.

I have been involved in different aspects of music from a very young age. As a young child, I played mostly percussion instruments and piano, as I approached puberty I switched mostly to bands and orchestras as an oboist, in high school I taught mallet and marching percussion while participating in all available orchestra and band classes in a music magnet as well as the Greater Miami Youth Symphony and briefly the South Florida Youth Symphony. I attended college at New World School of the Arts for composition, where I played in their orchestra and wind ensemble while teaching marching band at Miami Sunset Senior High School and giving private piano lessons. After my second marching season I switched gears and worked as a sound designer and director for The Miami Acting Company and Miami Dade College's Prometeo theatre. Recently I have been playing piano and focusing more on my own compositions and working on my skills for audio mastering and DSP (digital signal processing). As a...

I come from a very musical family. My parents bought me my first drum set for my 2nd birthday, and that started it all for me. I continued with drums and started to branch out as I got a little older. I started playing Latin percussion (Congas, Timbales) around age 7, guitar and piano at age 9, trumpet at 10, Bass at 14, Accordion at age 17, Trombone at 18, and I am always trying to better myself on all those instruments! My dad was my main instructor and influence while growing up. I also learned a lot about “real world” gigging scenarios and what you need to know to be successful. I toured professionally with my family’s band, led by my Dad, from 2001-2008, at which point I moved to Texas to pursue a solo career in Tejano music. While in California, I taught lessons for drums, bass, guitar, and voice for almost 4 years. I continued to teach a small number of private students while living in San Antonio. I also worked with “For the Love of Drums” music studio, as well...

I graduated from University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA! I received a BFA in Musical Theatre. What a change that was to go from Texas to Philly! I auditioned for many different schools, and know what it takes to get there. I then moved to New York City 2 days after graduating, on my 22nd birthday! I had 13 wonderful, and also challenging, years in NYC. Lots and lots of auditions, of every kind! Broadway, Off-Broadway, TV, Soaps, Film, Commercials, Concerts, Readings, Showcases, etc. I have sung for ABBA (Mama Mia), Stephen Schwartz (Wicked), Hal Prince (Gypsy). I was also up for leads in Mama Mia, Wicked, Rent, Hairspray. So, I definitely have a lot of versatility, and knowledge of what they're looking for! I did a Eugene O'Neil play called "Ah Wilderness" at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, MN. We opened there, and then toured it all over the midwest for 6 months. I did appear on NBC's Law & Order as a featured role, with the late Jerry Orbach. Lot's of experience,...
