Born and raised in Central and Southeast Los Angeles, I grew up in a musical home. My father was a guitar player and bolero was his passion. I grew up with the sounds of the classical guitar giving voice to the romantic ballad rhythms of bolero that filled every room in our quaint home.

​

My passion for music grew and self-taught myself piano, guitar, bass, drums and singing. I have played with bands that gave me the opportunity to tour in San Francisco, Richmond, Oakland, across L.A. County as well as Nicaragua and Guatemala. I have recorded back-up vocals for an up and coming praise worship singer and written my own songs that I've had the opportunity to perform at various locations.

​

I studied Vocal Performance in college with my focus being classical. I participated in Choirs and Chorales that performed in competitions at USC, was section leader for the Chamber Chorale at ELAC and participated as a soloist for the ELAC Symphony ensemble, performing Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 (Ode to Joy).

​

My passion for music has now lead me to a path in which I aspire to make music available to as many I come into contact with. I use mediums such as YouTube to provide music theory lessons and in the past have provided private instruction to both groups and one-on-one to people varying in age from 4-50+. I have 15+ years of experience and hope I can walk with you on your musical journey.
