About Me

I'm a 19 year old guy who is in love with music. I was attending the University of Texas at El Paso, where I studied with Mr. Sam Trimble (He's an amazing player, teacher, but most important, a great person). I am transferring to William Paterson in Wayne, New Jersey, Thank you God!!! I am a trumpet player whose dream is to be a professional jazz musician and be able to support a family with my playing and hopefully touch people's lives with my music. I love being on stage because no matter what has happened during the day, it all goes away and everything becomes right. I truly believe that a musician's greatest accomplishment is knowing people enjoy watching you perform and might even be a little more interested in that style or genre of music. I truly believe that the best way to learn is by experience, so I'm not afraid of playing (although I do hate messing up, even when I'm just playing by myself in a practice room! LOL) But it's all good cuz it's all a part of the ongoing journey of making music and mistakes are ineveitable. The tracks you hear above were recorded for the audition for William Paterson so I'm using it as a demo. I gotta thank Eleni on Bass, Eddie on Drums, and Randy on guitar fro helping me out with the recording! Thanks Guys!... And Gal!!! You are all awesome!! Well, feel free to leave a comment or message and keep on swingin'!!!
