About

I am a guitarist, composer/arranger, and musical artist from Los Angeles, California. My original music project “Bodhisattva" was born out of a great desire to express myself in the middle of 2020 when the world was on pause. In a sense, it is an expression of my desire to bring people together at a time that felt separate and distant. And so it is collaborative and community oriented. We love spontaneity, freedom and exploration, often including special guests as well. The main group is a quartet - guitar, keys, bass, and drums. Other additions include saxophone/winds, synths, and percussion.

We have a full length album coming out this summer, titled "Between Two Worlds" and we cannot wait to share it with you all!

Music

The music from "Bodhisattva" bridges the gap between a variety of musical styles including jazz, rock, Bossa Nova, psychedelic, folk, classical and more. The music combines strong melodies with rich harmonies and textures over danceable grooves. We also like to include jazz standards and covers from a range of artists including Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Jerome Kern, Jimi Hendrix, and Radiohead. Improvisation is a major aspects of the music, bringing exploration and spontaneity to the forefront. To me, music is more than just entertainment - it is an expression of the Soul, who we truly are - and all realms of life experience, both the pleasurable and the painful. This music expresses an array of emotions and can be both fiery and exciting as well as introspective and heartfelt. As an improviser, I love to explore the unknown with an adventurous spirit and I'm often described as “melodic and tasteful.” I strive to openly share my heart and life with the audience.
