My journey in music.
Hi, I’m a multi-instrumentalist who found my true calling in music, after trading karate classes for drumsticks in my youth. The whole martial arts scene lost its appeal, once I figured out it involved actual combat with other 8 year-olds. My journey into music started with private lessons, spanned into kid competitions, and flourished through band programs, before becoming a professional pastime. Music has been a constant companion in my life.
My musical journey didn’t stop at drumming. A deep dive into music theory transformed me from a drummer into a pianist and keyboardist, allowing me to create my own melodies and harmonies. This exploration spurred an interest in audio engineering, as I developed a desire to record my work. The practical need for musicians at my local church led me to pick up the bass and guitar, and the rest has just been all fun.
For me, music is more than a profession or hobby; it’s a passion. I give my all to every piece I play or produce, indifferent to the compensation, audience size, or end result. My goal is always to deliver the best musical experience possible.
“Jazz.. is not an intellectual process. You use your intellect to take apart the materials and to learn to understand them and to work with them.. It takes years of playing to develop the facility to forget all of that.. to relax and just play.” ~ Bill Evans
Music is absolutely my favorite thing in the world, but it becomes even more fun when I can create it with another individual or group.
At a young age, I was told to take pride in every single thing I do. Music has contributed to some of the proudest moments in my life.
Sure maybe the 32nd notes are a bit showy and obnoxious, but lets experiment with them anyways!
This one is a golden rule for me. If you forget to enjoy the process, you might forget why you do it.

These are some moments that I'm proud of that got documented.
I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to play keys on this single and to have shared the stage with Ally and the band.
One of the gigs that aligns most with the music I listen to, Rory writes amazing R&B and jazz inspired music.
Noah, I hope your okay with me sharing this piece of history. I’m still proud the work done on this project, no matter how dated it is.
This is titled for the invincible man, but at the time, was kinda just a ” eh why not” project. Hit me up and lets do more like this!
My good friend Sungjin hit up the group chat asking for a keys player or bassist to join the shoot and I answered the call. This was a blast!
