I've always been not only a listener, but a student of music and music history since I was young. My musical influences—Elvis, The Doors, U2, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Radiohead, New Order, Nine Inch Nails, and LCD Soundsystem—inspired me to learn guitar, sing, write songs, and create art from my soul. I was in my first band in high school, and released my first original music in 2016 after graduating from The University of Connecticut. Since then, I've continued to write original music, play cover shows at bars, restaurants, and social clubs in Connecticut, perform at local open mics, and even teach beginner guitar lessons. In 2025, with the support of loved ones, I decided to make the leap to make music my primary source of income.

I'm raising funds for new equipment, recording original music, and marketing/promotional campaigns to help my music reach more listeners and fans. These funds will help me enhance my live shows and performance opportunities, expand my reach on social media to connect with new fans, increase my streaming numbers and playlist placements on Spotify, and create new revenue streams like merchandising and sponsorships. Your support will directly impact my ability to share my creativity and passion with a wider audience.

For those of you who have already seen my progression as an artist and musician, your unwavering support has given me the self-confidence to fulfill my dream of making music a career! Now I ask for your help to make your listening and viewing experience better for not only yourself, but for others who have yet to discover my creativity!
