PROJECTS
My musical career has led me on a diverse and dynamic path, as I have experimented with a range of styles and genres in both my composing and playing. I am endlessly curious about music and draw inspiration from a broad spectrum of sonic material, from the most straightforward to the most complex. Among my direct influences are Maria Schneider, Woody Shaw, Frank Zappa, Bela Bartok, Sonic Youth, and Aphex Twin, whose innovative approaches to composition and performance have pushed the boundaries of what is possible in music and inspired me to do the same.
