Artist Statement

A guitarist and singer, I have been writing songs since I was 15 and playing the guitar since I was 12. I have performed both solo and with my band throughout Rhode Island and the Boston area. I have also been working with local bands recording, mixing, and mastering audio. 

The work that I do is all rooted through feeling. The way I edit audio and videos make me feel like I did something special. In music, through the audio recording side and making the music myself I feel the vibe of the song and try to get the sound to be as professional as possible. I play a variety of instruments and have 5 years experience recording artists. Each song has a unique message that I want the audience to feel. Every song or video must grab the audience's attention. It must pull them into a new world. I specialize in music videos, basic animation, and using good storytelling. Music videos have always been fascinating to me and there is a lot that goes into making them. I usually will work with the lyrics of a song and try to get an idea of what the artist was thinking about and what the text means. I take the words and imagine the topics and make scenes that would best present the words in physical form. What motivates me is talking to an artist and hearing their passion and what they imagine they want in a music video. I ask them to describe the song to me and what their thoughts are of why they wrote it. Also watching other videos from other artists inspire me to make music videos that are aesthetically pleasing.
