My music is all about exploring new worlds! Combining modern cinematic styles with elements of folk music, my music has a distinct style that takes influence from many of humanity's musical traditions. I pair my music with my own original stories, characters, and settings to create a truly fantastic experience that teems with optimism - promoting an idealist vision of society and the future.

​

My music gets released as albums on Bandcamp, and I make them available on my YouTube channel. My releases are  accompanied with videos that explain each album and what inspired them, and delve into how I go about my craft.

​

In addition to my personal projects, I accept commissions from filmmakers, authors, and artists who want to have music that breathes life into their worlds and characters.

​

I am currently enrolled in the Contemporary Media and Film Composition program at the Eastman School of Music, where I study with professors Mark Watters and Dave Rivello. I received my B.A. from Coastal Carolina University, where I studied classical composition with Dr. Donald Sloan and piano performance with Dr. Philip Powell.

​

I love the color pink, dogs, macaroni and cheese, Mozart’s Symphony No. 41, kid’s movies, My Little Pony, and a nice, brisk walk in the morning’s breeze.
