Piano with James G.

I'm a bassist, multi-instrumentalist, composer and actor. I received my BA in Music (with a Classical Double Bass focus) from California Polytechnic State University in 2017 and I've been a professional freelance musician since 2010; primarily working in the state of California. My love for music started at an early age (8). After moving from my birth home of Suffern, NY to Los Osos, CA, I quickly developed a naturally gifted ear towards popular music styles: classic rock, contemporary pop, heavy metal, and then later: jazz, classical, electronic and beyond. After graduating high school, I decided to pursue both a Jazz Studies (AA) and Music Performance (AA) degree at Cuesta Community College from 2008-2014. Later in 2015, I was awarded best "Community College Jazz Combo" by Downbeat magazine. In 2016, I was awarded a one-year membership to the Jazz Bass School with John Patitucci through Artist Works. In 2018, I received IMDB movie credit for acting and performing in the film Destination Wedding staring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder. In August of 2018, with award winning jazz orchestra arranger/engineer George Stone, produced and completed my old band Green to White's 2nd and final album entitled "Technologically Sound". During that same year I joined the band Moonshiner Collective lead by singer songwriter Dan Curcio. For 6 months in 2019, I performed and toured as an musical actorv in the show Million Dollar Quartet through San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre & PCPA Pacific Conservatory Theatre. I love learning from all my students while inspiring them to purse their own passions with music and life. I look forward to meeting with each and everyone of you!
