My Story
How a guitar in 2012 became a studio in 2018.
It all started back in 2012 when I was introduced to an amazing instrument: the guitar. I knew I needed to learn it for my sanity. I formed a band right away called Those Retards — we worked on a few original songs and played a few shows.
A few years later I started producing music and have been working with a lot of new artists since. It's been a joy collaborating across different people and cultures.
One of my biggest projects was San Diego Comic-Con 2019, where I scored a few pieces and voiced a couple of characters for a comic series.
My YouTube channel exists to capture not just my guitar playing, but everything I do — solo and in collaboration. Cheers.
