The Story Behind the Music
Where It All Started
University of Texas Jazz Studies - the same program that gave us Norah Jones and Tom 'Bones' Malone. Four years of late-night practice rooms, incredible musicians, and that moment when you realize music isn't just what you do, it's who you are. Made some albums, learned from amazing mentors, and discovered I wanted to bring that energy to people's biggest moments.
The Floating Music School
Ten years on cruise ships sounds glamorous (and sometimes it was), but really it was the best music education I could have asked for. Playing for people from every corner of the world, reading the room every single night, learning what makes a crowd light up. From Caribbean jazz gigs to Broadway-style shows - it taught me that great music is about connection, not perfection.
Finding My UK Home
The Southwest UK festival scene welcomed this Texas guy with open arms. From intimate garden parties to festivals like My Dad Is Bigger Than Your Dad, and even The Royal International Air Tattoo - each gig taught me something new about bringing the right energy to the right moment. Whether it's a corporate event or a backyard wedding, the magic happens when the music matches the vibe perfectly.
