Composer, Interviewer, Filmmaker.

As a composer, he has performed original works at MoCA (Grand St), Pehrspace, and the Hotel Café. His compositions, which blend analog synthesizers with orchestration, have been heard at the Apollo Theater, Staples Center, ad campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., Revlon, Shiseido, and others.

During his time at KCHUNG Radio, he produced and conducted a series of interviews with artists across a variety of mediums, exploring the intersection where abstract meets material, framed within a discussion of creative process.
After the pandemic, he founded production company Cardboard Walls Media. Its first full-length, documentary-style film, Birth of the Modern Man, centers on fictional musician J Jackie, for whom he composed and produced all original music. It serves as a commentary on the music business of the 2000s and a meditation on the rural American experience. The film is currently in post-production.

Graduated summa cum laude from the Los Angeles Recording School in 2015, after attending Berklee College of Music from 2001 to 2005, where he studied arrangement and served as personal assistant to Ran Blake, before being expelled for a third and final time.
