A musical journey from early childhood to the Los Angeles studio scene.
Music found me early. I sat down at the piano at age four and something clicked. By the time I was a teenager I had picked up guitar, started writing songs, and was spending every free moment making music.
In college at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I studied Open Music Studies with concentrations in Piano and Music Technology. That program let me bridge the classical world and the modern studio in a way that felt natural. I graduated in May 2020 with a BA.
Along the way, I founded Renaissauce Records as a creative home for production and collaboration. I taught piano at Guitar Center in both Champaign and Palmdale. I worked with emerging artists, built my studio chops, and kept pushing forward.
After graduation I made the move to Los Angeles. Now I produce, mix, master, and teach full-time. Every day is a chance to learn something new and help other people find their sound.
