Learn music in a way that actually fits you.
I like to call my lessons… sessions. Driven by curiosity and built with intention, these sessions are where creative exploration meets thoughtful guidance.

My Mission
My mission is simple. Support your musical growth! Whether you’re learning an instrument, writing songs, clarifying your goals, or recording and releasing your own music.
My Method
My lessons go far beyond technique… they dive into passion.
I moved away from traditional lessons once I realized passion was the missing piece. When we focused on music that actually inspired the student, motivation and growth followed naturally. That same approach now guides my work with artists — blending creativity with real-world skills so music becomes something you can build on, not just practice.
Many have since continued on to programs including Berklee College of Music, USC Thornton School of Music, Belmont, and Yale to name a few.
My Story
My dad taught me guitar when I was 8… not because he pushed me, but because I wanted to learn. He taught me Stairway to Heaven , just enough for me to play and sing along.
That was all it took. By that age, I was already more interested in writing my own songs than learning other people’s. I started studying music on my own, learning instruments, genres, and songwriting, always asking the same question: what’s next? I wanted to record my music, but studio time wasn’t an option so I figured out how to do it myself. I taught myself recording, editing, design, and eventually the business side of music through a lot of trial, error, and persistence.
Years later, after studying recording engineering and music business, building a studio, releasing multiple artist projects, and seeing my music reach millions of listeners and major brands, I realized something important: success looks different than I imagined as a kid — but the passion never left.
That’s what I care about teaching.
How to stay curious, self-reliant, and connected to your creative path for the long run through passion.
