About Me

I’m a longtime Central Coast musician, and I started writing and performing songs when I was 13 — after my dad handed me my first guitar. Over the past 25+ years, I’ve developed a style that blends alternative rock, pop, and country into something that feels uniquely my own.

For 15 years, I was part of the original band CAMP, where we built a reputation for heartfelt songwriting and high-energy live shows. In 2004, my song “Touchy Girl” won a Santa Barbara radio contest, which helped introduce my music to a wider audience across the region. Since then, I’ve continued performing throughout California’s Central Coast and beyond — playing everything from private events and local breweries to wineries and clubs like Soho in Santa Barbara.

My solo shows are a mix of well-known covers across multiple genres, along with original songs that reflect how my sound has evolved over the years. I’ve always preferred a more organic, analog approach to performing. Instead of relying on digital loops or backing tracks, I use foot-driven percussion (what I call my “acoustic pedals”), plus harmonica and guitar at the same time, to create a full live sound.

Whether I’m playing an intimate bar or a larger venue, my goal is always the same — deliver an authentic, grounded performance that reflects my love for music, songwriting, and decades of experience on stage.
