BIO
I am a singer-songwriter, guitarist and percussionist based in Washington DC. My music combines hand percussion, quirky melodies and lyrical word play in a soulful indie sound. I rely heavily on intuition, rhythmic exploration, and subconscious thinking in my songwriting approach. I am finalizing two EPs of originals, collaborating with some of Washington's finest musicians, with the first scheduled to be released in the Fall of 2021. I play in DC venues on my own and as the percussionist in the power duo Headband, with the incomparable Matt Lawrence. I am always eager to collaborate with other musicians as a percussionist, songwriter and vocalist and am available to provide tasty hand percussion to other singer songwriters looking to add some rhythm to their repertoires.
