My goal is to write meaningful, influential music just like the American writers of the past century, while still pressing forward with a modern approach. I am constantly inspired by music from all sorts of genres like jazz, tejano, and classical music. My personal favorite, American Jazz Standards, are some of the greatest gifts ever given to the Musical Arts, and I intend to keep the standards and music of yesterday alive today.
From combinations such as Harry Connick Jr. meets Silk Sonic with a touch of Amy Winehouse and Al Hurricane, music has always been an interesting phenomenon. I intend to write with purpose and respect for all genres, from chamber music to world music.
I’m so excited to announce that I will be sharing the stage with my dear friend, Benny Benack III, and the “Fun” O’Clock Lab Band during the Spring 2026 concert season! This concert will fulfill my master’s recital requirement, and I’m so excited to share a night of fun, swingin’ music with y’all. The best part? It’s FREE. ♥️
