"Learning or playing music boosts creativity, strengthens the mind, and is a lot of fun!

I'm a Berklee College of Music graduate (Cum Laude in Drum Performance & Electronic Production & Design) with nearly 20 years of teaching experience across all ages. I offer drum and music production lessons both online and in-person (based in South Boston, MA). Many of my students have gone on to attend Berklee and other top programs, win awards, and become in-demand musicians themselves.

Beyond teaching, I’m an active performer with experience across rock, funk, jazz, hip-hop, blues, live electronica, afrobeat, reggae, and Brazilian styles. I’ve shared the stage with artists like Nona Hendryx, Simon Shaheen, Richard Devine, Cappadonna (Wu-Tang Clan), Jim Belushi, and Juno Reactor, and have performed in 11 countries, with a 12th (Hungary) coming up next month.

I’ve taught at Groton Hill Music Center (formerly Indian Hill), West End House Boys & Girls Club, Boston Public Schools’ Counseling & Intervention Center, Mary Lyon High School, and Somerville Public Schools. I’ve also given music production workshops at international festivals, schools, and conferences, including A3E (Boston), Cosmic Convergence (Guatemala), Istanbul, and Wellington, NZ.
