About / Biography

I'm a very personable musician, I like to learn new songs constantly, something I enjoyed greatly working on Carnival Cruise Lines. I'm professional and precise in what I do, however, I like to get to know the people I am playing for as well. I am willing and actually want to cater to whom I am performing for so setlists with new songs are always extremely welcome! I have a vast repertoire and can cater to all events and generations.
