This is a helpful space to host some resources. Thanks for checking it out!

I’ve been super fortunate to find work as a:
1) Party Percussionist
2) Pit Orchestra Drummer1
3) Accompanist
4) Drum Circle Facilitator
5) Private Instructor
6) Session Recorder

From self-taught beginnings, to public school student musicianship, throughout & beyond undergrad, I’ve been playing drums/percussion for over 15 years in a variety of settings. One of the most rewarding aspects of my post-BA gap year was the decision to take myself a bit more seriously when it came to becoming a working musician.

Given the innumerable people2 I’ve met (like my brother3) whose identities are inextricable from the label “Musician,” it took me a while to call myself one as well.4 But, it truly has become a dimension to my method of thinking/being in the world, so here it is!

  2. Even if I’m not what you’re looking for, I’ll happily point you in the right direction, if I can. For creatives, visual/musical/written artists of all types, see my referrals post if you’d like some recommendations!
  3. a prolific jazz saxophonist, who also happens to be the systems administrator for this website—which is running from his own self-built home server!
  4. because I wouldn’t be a musician if I didn’t have at least some impostor syndrome about it, am I right?
  5. would a note about the “Notes” on the Music page be…a music note??
