I have been a musician since elementary school, where I started playing Violin — along with the recorder like every kid in school. After a short stint with Saxophone and Drums, I started really practicing and playing Guitar around 13.
I was initially active writing and performing music from 2000 – 2018. During this time I helped write countless songs, recorded multiple times in a number of studios, and toured from Maine to Florida, from the boroughs to the Pacific Ocean. My music has been released through a variety of record labels including Heat Street Records (Hudson, NY), Farewell Party Records (Rochester, NY), Barrett Records (Ann Arbor, MI), and Better Days Records (Seattle, WA).
As of Fall 2024, after an almost 6 year hiatus from performing live music I’ve started writing and playing music again, both alongside musicians and solo:
Wealthy Jane is a band featuring my friend Tony Bucci, a person who I first started jamming with over 25 years ago.
Dear Ones is my first solo band. In 2026 I will be releasing my album, “Reach”. Music will be posted: dearones.bandcamp.com/
In total, I have been in the following bands:
- Optic Nerve
- My Day Is Ruined
- Give Me A Gun
- Relentless (also known as, “Smile Cheyenne”)
- the Fabulous Funky Freedom
- Pom Pom Death (later named, “Put Out”)
- Titans
- Caleb Lionheart
- m.d.i.r.
- The Wildabeats
- Still Water Runs Deep
- King of the Forest
- Strummin’ Upstream
- Wealthy Jane
- Dear Ones
