I have a (digital, for now) piano and will travel! After years of playing countless nearly brain dead shows in cover bands, playing music I didn't write to half-sober audiences that mostly didn't notice, I hit a breaking point and decided I can't do it anymore. I committed to making every show an original and unique experience.

I'm an artist, not a jukebox.
Jive Safely
I play drums for Jive Safely, a jazz trio fronted by my friend the phenomenal Fabian Qamar.
