About
I'm a guitarist based in Toronto. My roots are in Brazilian music, and since then I've played everything from rock and metal to jazz, which is where I spend most of my time now. Improvisation is what I'm most passionate about, and I love playing live with other musicians, whether on a stage or sitting in at a jam.
I also teach private lessons to students of all ages, and I'm studying psychology, which shapes how I practise and how I teach: structured, patient, and built around how people learn.
