With the guidance of his high school music teachers, his passion for music led him to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Balancing a day job, school, and his professional musical affairs, he played in various groups when possible, although found that solo projects allowed for more freedom. These two sides of performance led him to explore the stages of Boston, which at the time featured everything from jazz to folk, punk, rock, and experimental music. In 2009, he moved to Cape Cod where he cut his teeth playing gigs five nights a week and taught at The Cape Conservatory before establishing his sound in the San Francisco Bay Area where he honed in on his gritty approach to playing and shared the stage with some of the biggest names in soul music.

Recording for various labels across the country, within several years he accumulated credits on over twenty releases with The M-Tet, a classic instrumental soul organ combo which quickly became one of Northern California’s go-to acts. Within a few years, The M-Tet was sharing the bill with legends such as Lee Fields & The Expressions, The Delfonics and Daptone’s Sugarman 3, as well as contemporaries including Monophonics, Kelly Finnigan, and Ben Pirani. Playing nearly every club, concert hall, and theater in the Nothern California, the group became a west coast staple, leading to a nomination for Best Of The Bay by The East Bay Express. Although prolific and relevant in its own right, the M-Tet also backs various singers including Colemine Records recording artist, Gene Washington.
