You’ve found my portfolio as a musician. Let’s jam. I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. I went to school for a time at Quincy University, Illinois. Now I’m working to expand and participate in the music scene in my home town. I love the ‘Lou.
I am currently looking for a new karaoke venue for me to host. Check back here or follow me on your favorite socials to get updates. If you are interested in hiring me for anything, use my contact form to let me know.
