Stage & Studio Collaborator

Guitar, bass, synth—here to serve the song.

Austin multi-instrumentalist rooted in indie, soul, and experimental pop. I chase textures, hold the pocket, and keep rehearsal energy calm even when the set list changes an hour before doors.

Stage + Studio

Ready-to-roll on guitar, bass, piano, and synth

I bring charts marked, tones dialed, and zero ego. Goal: keep your songs' fingerprints intact while making them hit harder on stage or in the mix.

15 years

Guitar

Electric and acoustic textures, weird-space delays, gritty fuzz, and melodic lines that lift the hook instead of stealing it.

8 years

Bass

Pocket-obsessed low end across funk, alt-pop, R&B, and anything that needs a little push-pull with the drummer.

4 years

Piano & Synth

Nord and Moog textures, stacked pads, and live samples that glue electronic and acoustic moments together.

Ways I Plug In

Drop me into your next run, session, or writing week

Call for one-night showcases, remote overdubs, or months on the road. We trade playlists, swap stems, and build a rig that fits your set before we ever hit rehearsal.

Session Recording

Remote or in-room tracking with quick stems, layered doubles, and textures shaped to land right in your session.

Live Performance

Slotting into tours, festivals, and residencies. Click, stems, Ableton rigs, and curveball key changes welcome.

Arranging & Music Direction

Mapping transitions, playback, and show flow so the record's energy survives the stage without sanding off its grit.

Working Together

How I like to plug in

  • Share the story Send demos, references, or live clips so I can hear the arc before we plug in amps.
  • Build the palette We'll trade pedal settings, synth patches, and tones until the texture matches the feeling.
  • Keep it human No ego, no tech jargon for the sake of it—just clear communication and songs first.
