I am a versatile bassist, composer, producer.

Born and raised in Vancouver B.C., Canada and currently living in Montréal QC.

Prior to moving to Montreal (and before COVID), I was part of the Vancouver Community College music program from 2016-19 and completed my degree in composition for contemporary music while performing and composing as a member of the VCC gamelan ensemble (Gamelan Si Pawit) as well as the VCC Latin jazz ensemble.

As a bassist I have toured throughout Western Canada, the USA and Southeast Asia and performed in venues such as The Center for the Performing Arts (Vancouver B.C. ), Richards On Richards (Vancouver), the ACT Theatre (Maple Ridge B.C.), The Cloverdale Rodeo (B.C.), the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, the Surrey Fusion Festival (B.C) and a house gig at Chilkoot Charlies (Anchorage AK USA).
