One day at a time...

About Me

I love good people. I am a self proclaimed workaholic, and usually love my job. I love to play the cello. I am fascinated by real estate. I do my best to live each day to the fullest.Classically trained and a lover of baroque music, I have spent the last few years playing all types of music. I am the cellist in the crossover/fusion/genre jumping group DBR & THE MISSION (ICM Artists) but have also performed quite a bit of Hip Hop with Kanye West (including performances with guests Adam Levine, John Legend, Common, Pharrell) and Jay-Z. In June, I put together the Hustla Symphony Orchestra that performed w/Jay-Z,?uestlove and the Illadelphonics, Memphis Bleek, Beyonce, Sauce Money, Foxy Brown and Pain in da ass at Radio City and Nokia Theater in honor of the 10th anniversary of Jay-Z's first album "Reasonable Doubt".This season I am fortunate to share the stage with Savion Glover, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Enya, Mika, Jewel, Il Divo and the East Village Opera Company among other amazing musicians. I am also a parter in crime in the quartet known as Equation.
