I'm a full time musician based in Los Angeles. I play drums, bass, keys, and guitar, and I sing. I currently play drums for Chezile, a gig I've held since October 2025. I was previously the music director for Trixie Mattel, where I also played bass and keys. I've recently been lucky enough to perform with Grace Enger, Leah Kate, and Bebe Stockwell, with festival stops at Austin City Limits, Stagecoach, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Corona Capital, Montreux Jazz Festival, Roskilde, Metronome Prague, Rock Werchter, Pinkpop, and Pozitif Vibrations in Istanbul, plus a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and a Just For Laughs show in Montreal of 15,000 people. Outside of touring, I write, produce, and release my own music under my own name.
