I've been around long enough to see this industry transform in ways that still blow my mind — and I've been lucky enough to grow with it every step of the way.
I started out in 1999 with a Philadelphia-based band called Townhall. Scrappy, formative, and exactly the kind of experience that teaches you what music is really about. By 2009 I was writing, recording, and touring with Shwayze, which took things to a whole new level. In 2012 I became Music Director at Hotel El Ganzo in Los Cabos, Mexico — and that chapter ended up being one of the most creatively rich periods of my life. I didn't just oversee the music program, I designed and built The Underground, a recording studio hidden beneath the hotel's lobby, and spent seven years producing the El Ganzo Sessions — a documentary YouTube series that captured some truly remarkable performances from an incredible roster of artists.
Through all of it, I kept developing my craft as a horn player. I play trumpet, trombone, all saxophones, flugelhorn, and flute, and that versatility has taken me places I never could have predicted. I've performed on two Grammy-winning recordings — most recently on Olivia Dean's Art of Loving, which won Album of the Year at the 2026 Brit Awards and produced the Top 20 Billboard hit "So Easy (To Fall In Love)." Olivia also took home Best New Artist at the 2026 Grammys, which made that one feel pretty special. Earlier, I played on Natalia Lafourcade's Hasta La Raíz — a 2x Platinum record that won the Grammy for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album and swept the Latin Grammy Awards. That album meant a lot to me then and still does. My session credits also include Sabrina Carpenter's recent single "Tears (Extended Dance Break)," Meghan Trainor, BENEE, Lennon Stella, Amber Mark, Big Sean, SIX60, and a lot more across pop, soul, R&B, Latin, indie, and hip-hop.
On the sync side, my music has been licensed for campaigns with Apple, Google, Grey Goose, and Olive Garden, and has shown up in over twenty television series — Grey's Anatomy, Hacks, Shameless, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and more. I've had placements in promos for the Golden Globes, March Madness, and ESPN, and most recently my music appeared in NBC's promotional campaign for The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins during Super Bowl LX. Film work includes trailers for Tom and Jerry and Easter Sunday, and features like The Other Woman, Tall Girl, and Alarum.
In 2020, a song I co-wrote called "Miracle" won NBC's Songland Season 2 — it was performed by Bebe Rexha as the anthem for the Tokyo Olympics, and that was a moment I'll never forget. I also release my own music under my name on all streaming platforms, with collaborations alongside Ryan Innes, Tolliver, KONG, and Can't Stop Won't Stop.
I'm proud of all of it — but what I'm most proud of is that through every chapter, I've stayed focused on the same thing: making music that's high quality, feels good, and fits the moment it's made for.
