About me
a hardworking independent anchor in multiple genres, I consistently showcase a lively energy and passion for my work towards fellow artists, experts, and specialists in the music industry.
Following a move to los angeles from small town Kentucky in 2014, I began doing a multitude of professional work consisting of international & national tours, gigs, studio sessions, lessons, music videos, and more. Inspirations of mine include Eric Moore ii (lillake, eros ramazzotti) Aaron Spears (usher, lil wayne) Tony Royster Jr (jay-z, charlie puth, katy perry) taylor gordon (beyonce, dua lipa) and countless others.
My vigorous work ethic and determination to be one of the greats, currently in the realm of up and coming drummers, shows in the volumes of covers, live sets, and original pieces. In this era of musicians striving for greatness, my name is one you’ll remember.
