As I began my studies in Boston, I was fortunate enough to be dropped into a network of talented and supportive musicians who threw work my way simply because I learned to say, “Yes:” to every opportunity. I used this exposure to learn to play a wide variety of styles and I utilized my self-taught background to learn on the fly.
