I have lived & performed in Philadelphia since 1994. Graduated Temple's Jazz Performance program in 2004 and have taught at Settlement Music School since then as well. I have performed with Odean Pope, Bobby Zankel, Rudresh Mahanthapah, Toshi Makihara, Dave Burrell, Ravi Coltrane, Leah Stein, Eo Po Theater company, Billy Harper, Dave Burrell and many others. I have always championed new, original music in the form of festivals and curating events. Most currently I present w/ Larry Toft every 3rd Wed. at Tritone, Avant Ascension, and have a monthly concert series featuring my group Truth & Consequence which received a Subito grant to help facilitate the performance of many new compositions.
