Bio
I have been playing drums since I was 13 years old and joined my first band, City Light Dreams, when I was 15. Even though I am only 20 years old I have already been recognized as a professional and dedicated artist by industry giants like Chad Hugo (N.E.R.D.) and more. I have a great deal of studio and recording experience such as working with Matt Goldman (Underoath, Anberlin, Cartel, Copeland) at Glow In The Dark studios in Atlanta, Georgia, and Paul Leavitt (All Time Low, Circa Survive, Yellowcard) at Valencia Studios in Baltimore, Maryland.
I am currently in an alternative rock band called The Eleventh Hour. In 2012, The Eleventh Hour has been on tour playing shows over 5 months out of the year, released 3 Ep's. (One of which recorded by Leavitt), and shot a music video. In 2013 we've kept the ball rolling by doing independent tours January through February, as well as buying on two weeks of the "Bedroom to Stage Tour" with Sparks The Rescue, Rookie of the Year, and Jimmie Deeghan (Every Avenue). Other notable shows so far this year have been opening for HRVRD (Equal Vision) as well as just recently Go Radio! As of April 2013, The Eleventh Hour is now a signed artist on Tate Music Group's roster.
I am also performing for an agressive pop band from Toronto, Canada called Rosedale. Rosedale has released an Ep and a full length titled "Real" with a music video for the single "Online venting" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPgH88f6iNU). Rosedale's tour schedule is very frequent, including the past 3 years on the full Van's Warped Tour. I will also be perfoming with him this year on the full Van's Warped Tour.
My drumming strengths include solid timing and playing to a click, playing what is stylistically needed, my live performance and stage presence, and playing creatively.
