My musical education has been intentionally interdisciplinary. I found myself drawn to so many diverse aspects and areas of music that I knew I needed a degree path that incorporated them all. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to study so many diverse types of music at Oakland University under expert teachers in each distinct area. I believe that, especially as musicians, we benefit from multiple influences, and I know that these experiences have enriched my performance in every area.

I provide live violin, piano, and vocal music for weddings, fundraisers, private events, receptions, community events, and other special occasions. I love performing on stage, joining orchestras and ensembles, and creating unique musical experiences. I have also brought diverse musical performances to schools, giving students the opportunity to experience different styles of music. I can perform classical violin repertoire, strolling and outdoor violin, fiddle music, pop, and other styles tailored to the atmosphere of your event. I also perform jazz violin and vocals, steelband repertoire, and styles of West African percussion and dance.

Yes. In addition to performing as a solo musician, I am a trained jazz violinist and improviser, as well as a jazz vocalist with experience performing in jazz combos, ensembles, and diverse musical groups. I am also a trained classical musician with extensive experience performing in quartets, orchestral settings, and with pop and folk bands. I am trained to perform steelpan with steelband ensembles and can play in different sections of the group. I am also trained in several African-based percussion traditions and am comfortable performing in group settings. I can incorporate African dance into my performances as well. I can integrate with an existing band or collaborate with other musicians to create a customized performance.
