I harness
the power
of
to elevate worlds
and the stories within them.
above is a combination of paid and personal projects.
if you don't have much time, please feel free to skip around.
otherwise, here's a more comprehensive showcase of my work.
because complex art deserves nothing less than proper sonic elevation.
electronic & orchestral? rock & jazz? chiptune & folk? you name it - I’ll make it.
original earworms featuring modern song structures and catchy lyrics.
self-sufficient, multi-instrumental shows with expressive and immersive electronics.
want to work together?
want to be friends?
want some secret third thing?
I'd love to hear from you.

born and raised in Colorado. lived here all my life. currently residing in Denver. there's no place I'd rather be.
I always loved making music from a young age, but entered the workforce as a software developer for the financial stability. several years later I was indeed financially stable and also spiritually gutted. music continued to call my name, so here I am now making it my full-time career. it's never too late to re-evaluate.
current arsenal: piano, guitar, bass guitar, violin, cello, mandolin, mandola, drums, EWI, vocals. on my wishlist: fretless bass, tenor guitar, banjo, and (far too) many others.
current arsenal: Ableton Live 12 Suite, Ableton Push 3 Standalone, Zoom LiveTrak L-12, Audio-Technica AT-2020, Yamaha HS-8 x 2, Line 6 HX Stomp, Bose S-1, to name a few. on my wishlist: Luminite Graviton M1 at this very moment. obsession of the week is subject to weekly change, much to the woe of my wary wallet.
music (🤯). nature. fashion. VR/AR. linguistics. psychology. photography. roguelikes. stick shifts. mechanical keyboards. vinyl records.
english, français, 中文. bits of español and 日本語. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
that's all for now!
