you know, if you want to read the blah blah bio, go to my website. that's why we all spent money getting websites right? The bottom line is this: I Really love playing music. I really really love it. I wouldn't trade my job in for any other in the world. Here's the short version: I was lucky enough that my mom put a violin put in my hands when I was still sucking on sippy-cups and didn't let me put it down when I was a bratty teenager, so that's what I play today. I moved to New York when I was 17 and played in the trains for a while to get by. I went to school for Jazz and made some friends. Some of them took me to Turkey and Israel, and I learned some things. Some of them took me to Brazil and I learned some other things. Some of them stayed in New York and wrote some crazy music and made me play it so I learned some more things. I've toured with Middle Eastern bands, Swing bands, a Maracatu band (what the hell is Maracatu?!?), a Klezmir-Ska band, a Ragtime band, and Ive worked with a couple people who you might have even heard of. So now I've written some music that reminds me of a lot of my friends and a lot of the places we've hung out in. I've learned that as long as we mean what we say when we play, we have the Mystery at our fingertips. Making music the best way possible is a moral imperative. It also feels way better.
