Guitar with Elizabeth C.

Having performed hundreds of shows across the east coast playing rock and roll and blues, I’ve learned what it takes to become a true professional musician through musicality and performance. With my band, Elizabeth II, I’ve opened for artists like William DuVall (Alice and Chains) and even performed on Capitol Hill in Washington DC for a Recording Academy event where I got to work with Mike Clink (Producer for Guns n’ Roses, Heart, Motley Crue) and perform in front of Slash. With my band, I’ve landed distribution deals with Popup Music, released an EP and several singles on streaming platforms, put out music videos, built a large social media following, and even won an award from the Washington DC Wammies (Washington DC Music Awards) for my song “Lonely”, which won “Best Rock Song” in 2020. I actively perform as a hired gun with professional bands of all styles including rock, blues, singer/songwriter, jazz, and pop. In 2019, I was invited to attend a short private songwriting workshop at Jungle City Studios in New York City where I was mentored by Alicia Keys and Ann Mincieli (Alicia Key’s Engineer) where I learned songwriting and arrangement skills. I’ve been playing guitar for over 11 years and have been teaching professionally for 7 years in lesson studios and online. I’ve had independent one on one training over the course of my 11 year guitar career. I’ve taken classes at Berklee College of Music in Boston and Musicians Institute in Los Angeles where I got to learn from the best of the best, including Joe Stump and Don Lappin. As far as vocal training goes, I’ve been professionally taught since the age 13 and learned the ins and outs of jazz, blues, and rock.
