Session Guitarist and Producer

I am a conservatory-trained session guitarist and audio professional holding a Degree in Guitar Performance from Berklee College of Music. Backed by an intensive technical foundation studying under shred virtuosos like Joe Stump, Rusty Cooley, and Christian Muenzner, I specialize in delivering world-class, ultra-precise guitar tracking.

My absolute core focus is mechanical precision, extreme tone clarity, and lightning-fast articulation. I engineer flawless walls of sound directly from home, delivering double- or quad-tracked rhythm sections with perfect transient alignment and devastatingly tight high-gain chugs. When it comes to lead work, I arrange and record highly articulate, vocal-style solos, sweeping architectures, and complex multi-part harmonies that slice cleanly through dense modern mixes.
Because my strongest asset at Berklee was Advanced Music Theory, I approach session work with absolute harmonic intelligence. You don't just get a player who riffs over a track—you get an expert who understands intricate fretboard navigation, advanced chord-scale relationships, and precise voice-leading mechanics.
By working strictly from my home studio, I bypass commercial studio booking delays and pass that efficiency directly onto you.
