About Me

One of the things I love most about music is being able to create...so much so that unfortunately I've forgotten most of the things that I've written over the years...these songs are attempts at not forgetting everything completely. To all you classical musicians shaking your heads at me/looking down your noses: all I can say is that over the past little while I've found that one of the best ways to learn an instrument is to try to play the music that comes into your head......and besides, it's never fun to play someone else's music all the time!
Most of my musical experience has come from singing in the shower, a brief run with a band called Eunoia, and fooling around with the cello and guitar. For most of 2007, I played cello for the grunge-rock band Infinite Moksha, having the opportunity to perform shows in other cities, sharing the stage with other amazing bands, even playing an outdoor stage in the summer sun! Currently, I am writing music with some of my favorite musicians for an upcoming project that will be arriving at a local venue near you very soon.................

There's so much good music out there....it's impossible in one lifetime to hear it all. It's so frustrating + also wonderful at the same time
