I am a classically trained cellist who loves to improvise. I have more than 20 years of experience playing live and in studio settings. My cello playing ranges from ethereal to folk to hardcore. I have experience recording for bands and solo projects.

I love the collaboration that happens in the studio setting, where I can bend my playing to the feel of the composition. I love leaning into the experimental and unsettling. While I create my own music by ear, I’m also experienced reading chord charts and sheet music.

I reside in Louisville, Ky. Willing to travel around Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio River Valley, and Nashville.
