Music

For fun and community.

I play drum set, congas, and other percussion. I also work with synths, drum machines, and effects. I completed a music minor at U North Texas, and I’ve studied with several accomplished percussionists: Dave King, Lucumi, Sandy Perez, Silvestre Martinez, and Elizabeth Sayre. Some former collaborators found commercial success including K.Flay, Jack Conte, Jidenna, David Crowder, and Robbie Seay.

I get to the gig on time with all the gear I need.

Here’s a YouTube playlist of my music.
