Anime Gone Metal

I’m a professional guitar performer and a graduate from Berklee College of Music. I’ve studied under some of the greatest guitar players in the nation, collaborated with several big named YouTube musicians from across the globe, performed at countless conventions throughout my music career, and I just love what I do. Even though I occasionally gig as a classical, jazz, blues, and fusion guitarist; my main influence has been and always will be metal. Metal… and anime.
