I started playing bass in 2022, learning through Zoom lessons and online tutorials. CSC has been a great way to get out of my "bedroom studio" and experience playing music with others! I love learning new music across genres and have a special place in my heart for jazz and funk.

Music has always been at the center of my life. My journey began around the age of 8 when my parents got The Beatles '1' CD, which I promptly listened to about 1,000 times before I hit 10 years old. I picked up a guitar for the first time at age 13 and never looked back. My taste is all over the map. Bill Evans, Stevie Wonder, The Allman Brothers, Frank Ocean, Elliott Smith, Big Theif, Mdou Moctar, Rush, you name it. Basically everything other…

I have played music since 1996. I started with eight years of classical piano, then ventured to three years of jazz piano and jazz theory, and two years of pipe organ. I have been taking voice lessons since 2020. I enjoy playing many music styles, but I primarily write alternative hard rock music.

I have been playing drums since 2018 and have loved every second of it! I have a very wide range of music that I enjoy, but my two favorite genres are punk/garage rock (specifically “angry girl music of the indie rock persuasion”) and 1970s soul/R&B/funk.

Guitar
I'm originally from Rockville, Maryland and grew up playing drums on and off in middle school and high school. After high school, I took a decade off from playing music until 2020, where I was looking for a new hobby after the pandemic. Since then I have taken up the keyboard, the guitar, and other percussion instruments.
Drums, Keys, Guitar
Self-taught amateur drummer who started to play with chopsticks as sticks and pillows as Toms. I’ve always gravitated towards drums or broader percussion in any song and that made me want to try and playing it on my own.
