about

Everything you are about to hear is done by one man, one guitar, and a looping pedal.
As a performer, I have devoted myself to perfecting the technical aspects of playing the guitar. As a composer, I am in a continuing pursuit for attaining a dynamic style that tells a story without the need
for words. As an artist, I have blended old and new by combining the classical guitar with technology to make old things anew.
I devoted nearly two years into conceptualizing and materializing this work. This EP is my first step towards building a legacy as a musician and a testament to hard work paying off. I have high hopes that my music will inspire you to pursue your dreams and achieve greatness in all that you do.
I want to thank first and foremost, my family. For teaching me the values of perseverance and for their incredible support, which has been there from the beginning and I know will be there forever. My father, for instigating the art of playing an instrument and inspiring me to pursue this wonderful craft. My friends and fellow musicians, whom without, I would have been hardpressed to find my way on this journey.
Lastly, this work would not have been possible without the help of Robert Hempel, an incredible teacher, formidable musician, and a true friend.
