about

I'm a storyteller. I tell stories with percussion. I use different
sounds that will bring up memories, so the stories I tell, are
your own stories. The stories you live.
•
Remember the sound of your grandmother's clock, the wind
outside your window, or the busy street where you grew up?
These are the type of sound stories I tell. I use sound to
connect you to memories.
•
The stories told here come from my experience as a musician and performer over the past year. Some were told to me by people at my performances. Some are my reactions to my surroundings, especially visual art I came into contact with. Still others are about my life. I am a story teller.
