Wonderful music is about technique mixed with a world of emotions! I would love to bring your project to life with the highest attention to those two factors! I have collaborated extensively with musicians, composers & vocalists around the world.
I'm a session keyboardist from Chicago, with 10+ years of playing for artists and producers worldwide for independent and commercial projects. My focus is rendering a performance that evokes the feeling, emotion, and energy of your song by means of quality recordings. The goal is to intentionally deliver music that conveys the artist's message.
I play piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, sing, and produce instrumental music and have over 100k monthly listeners on Spotify
Drawing on 15+ years of experience w/ songwriters, producers and agencies, as well as running a recording studio in partnership with Nike and Jordan Brand, I can take YOUR song from sketchy demo to fully produced track, drawing inspiration from artists like Bon Iver, The National, Sufjan Stevens, Noah Kahan, Lizzy MacAlpine and others.

Hi there! I’m an experienced engineer who started out with live sound when I was 14 before making my way into a studio setting. I have worked along side Toby Scott, Bruce Springsteen’s old engineer, 6 time Emmy winner Jeremiah Slovarp, and many more. I use a very efficient system that leads to quality work with quick turnarounds.
