About Me

i grew up in st. paul minnesota, graduated from boston university with a bachelor's degree in music performance (violin), and lived on the east coast for many years. after doing the classical music thing, i began to explore other forms of music, starting with reggae and moving on to jazz, blues, pop, rock, metal, hip hop, spoken word, and country. Currently, I am working with Avant Groove Records and the Warehouse Barbarians. Some other groups that I have worked with in the past are Edupoetic Enterbrainment, Filthy Divine, and Brokenheart Jones, as well as continuing to record the occasional song of my own. I am mostly a session/performing violinist, but I have also been known to sing and play keys.
