When it comes to music, for me, self expression is most important. Music communicates more than words alone.

I've studied with the great musical families of New Orleans, where I was born and raised. I've also had the good fortune of crossing paths with many other greats outside of the city; Jordan family, Marsalis family, Batiste Family, Chatters family, Clyde Kerr Jr., Donald Byrd, Frank Mantooth, Bob Shepard, Curtis Fuller, Steven Dankner, Lorraine Alfaro, Moses Hogan, Raymond Miles, Veronica Dorsey, and many others.

As a child I began the study of piano at the age of 3. I studied classical traditionally and blues by ear. I began a formal study of Jazz in the 5th grade. At age 12, I began to perform professionally and still do presently. By age 15, I was directing at various churches and ensembles to accompany musical theater productions.

To date I've toured the east and west coast of the U.S., 18 cities between Spain, Germany and Russia. I am a performer/song...

I have performing and studying the fine arts for over ten years. I have performed in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles...just to name a few. My background includes musical theater, classical voice performance, pop music-recording, and dramatic arts teaching and performing. I hold a Master's Degree from University of Southern California-Rossier School of Education in single subject teaching along with a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Clayton State University. I have been teaching private lessons (both voice and drama) and seminar style classes for the last 6 years. At the age of 16 I had the opportunity to sing at the Atlanta Symphony Hall and open for Bruce Hornsby!!

I have worked as and coached recording artist/s all over Atlanta thus serving as an instructor who is familiar with all performance styles.

I'm a professional guitarist with a background in jazz, heavy metal, blues, classical, and bossa nova. In 2006 I graduated from the Berklee College of Music and since then I have become lead guitarist and keyboardist for an Atlanta based rock band. In May of 2009, after a year of being together, the band released its debut album, In Prison Till the End, to great critical acclaim.

Whether you are a beginning guitarist or a seasoned professional, I can expand and enhance your playing in any direction you choose. I look forward to getting to know you as a student and learning about what course of study will bring out not only your understanding of music but a musical style that is unique to you.

Having a long time love of all music I have always enjoyed discussing music and educating others on its many aspects. As such I began teaching during summers home from Berklee and found that it was something I had a great deal of talent for. Now, with seven years of teaching...

I have a vocal performance degree from Piedmont College in Demorest, Georgia.

I have two years of private piano and voice teaching experience as well as experience conducting and rehearsing choral and theater groups. My teaching aptitude includes beginning piano for adult and young students, as well as voice to students of ALL age and experience levels. Recruited by numerous musicians for their projects, I've had a great deal of experience in the recording studio.

Outside of the studio, I love to read,...
