I'm a multi-instrumentalist composer most interested in blending folk, indie, world, and film music together. I come from an American folk and roots background, where acoustic instruments (guitar, mandolin, banjo, viola) and vocals are featured. But, a lot my work in the past 10 years has been writing more traditional score for TV and film, with projects being featured on prime-time American TV and streaming services. This scoring experience has helped me expand my palette to include cinematic orchestration and electronic music along with helping to fine-tune that ability to capture the emotional tone needed for a moment.

 All in all, I've become a very versatile composer, with lots of areas of interest. But, when it comes down to where my deepest expertise lies, I believe it is in tapping back to those folk roots and then using my soundtrack experience to lift those sounds to an elevated level. You could compare this sound to Bon Iver or Jose Gonzales.

I recently collaborated with Artlist artist SPEARFISHER to create a world-folk infused album called 'Journey' that was featured by Artlist. During that time, I worked with his Artist Relations Agent, Jason Farber, who I had a positive experience with (it was Jason that directed me to this application). Since Journey's release, it has been interesting to see which of the tracks resonated with the clients of Artlist. 

I’ve used some of that info to help me craft 2 new EP’s worth of music, written with Artlist in mind. These EP’s are unreleased and I submit them as an example of the directions I might go as an Artlist artist. “Wanderings” is a roots and indie inspired album, channeling some Bon Iver or Fruit Bats sound. “Cheeky Contigo” is a group of upbeat latin tracks that points towards a more quirky, retro sound, while still staying 'acoustic'. 

I'll also provide links to handful of other projects and playlists from my previous work. I consider myself a fairly prolific composer and producer, and one who could provide a decent body of high quality, varied music for Artlist. 


Fusing Latin music with jazz and world music elements, 'Cheeky Contigo' is a quirky, happy EP full of playful rhythms and an exciting, upbeat vibe.
