About

I’m a Los Angeles–based musician, producer, and composer working across artist projects, original compositions, and collaborative productions. My instrumental work under morningtime has amassed over 100 million streams on Spotify and has been featured on major editorial playlists including Lofi Beats. I am also a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer in the alternative R&B / indie trio Fortuno, where I help shape the band’s sound across composition, arrangement, and performance.

​

Alongside my artist work, I teach private lessons in piano, guitar, music production, and music theory to students of all ages and experience levels. I studied music composition, piano, guitar, and voice at Bowdoin College.

​

When I’m not making music, you can usually find me running, climbing, playing chess, or making smoothies.
