About Me

Thanks for checkin' out my tunes! I'm a sax player recently out of Boston, now fresh into NYC tryin' to keep the funk alive! I'm available for lessons, live horns, studio work and jammin' till the sun comes up. Teaching my craft and connecting with others through music is what i'm all about.
While you're here, have a look at the video posted! You can see me playing with Nick Noonan and Niv Toar, Turkuaz, and Idan Raichel, Israeli world music star.

Listen to some in your face , funky live tracks with -Cashed Fools- Check these guys out, they're killers!
