Music is my passion, and my goal is to be able to help enrich society through the ways I contribute in the musical community. I am a trumpet player, basing my style in Jazz, and Jazz-adjacent genres, this gives me a very broad working space which has communication at the centre of it.
My musical journey began with my dad marching to band music, carrying my young self. After short forays with violin and the school choir, I then fell in love with the trumpet. Lessons on the Piano followed and guided me to completing Performance Examinations through NZMEB for trumpet and piano.
I have benefitted from a range of coaching, workshop and masterclass opportunities in recent years such as the Future Student Workshops run through the NZ Jazz Foundation, playing under the guidance of several NZSM lecturers and past students, notably Rodger Fox.
When I am not playing my trumpet I may be found at the climbing gym, swimming, cycling, running, spending time with family and friends, at gigs, or at the local market.
