Guitarist & Composer

Bio

My path in music began at the age of fifteen when I got an electric guitar for my birthday. After a couple of years of teaching myself to play rock songs it became apparent to me that if I want to make music seriously I need to study it seriously so I started to take classical guitar lessons and eventually went to study classical guitar performance in college.

Later in my studies, my interest in contemporary guitar repertoire led me to discover fingerstyle guitar scene. I got inspired by guitarists like Masaaki Kishibe, Kotaro Oshio and Sungha Jung and began to play steel-string acoustic guitar as well, which eventually led me to create my YouTube channel where I shared my recordings of contemporary and classical guitar music, and original solo guitar arrangements.

I hold a degree in Classical Performance and currently working towards degree in Music Composition.
