About
I’m a singer, guitarist, and songwriter based in Northern Virginia, known for smooth vocals, laid-back acoustic guitar, and a setlist that blends timeless classics, modern hits, and soulful originals. Whether it’s a beach bar in the Outer Banks or a packed Friday night venue in DC, I bring an exciting energy and a focus on crowd connection — every set is shaped by the room.I’ve played venues across Northern Virginia, DC, Charlottesville, and the Carolinas — from local bars and restaurants to weddings, grad parties, and private events. While at the University of Virginia, I performed both solo and as a lead vocalist in the Hullabahoos — UVA’s premier a cappella group — releasing studio albums, selling out concert halls, and touring internationally in places like Madrid and Dublin.In addition to performing, I write original music and love collaborating on new creative projects. I post all my latest clips, gig updates, and behind-the-scenes moments on Instagram, so feel free to follow along there. I’m always open to bookings or musical opportunities — let’s get something on the calendar.
