Immersed in music for over 17 years, I am a top-rated guitar teacher driven by an insatiable passion for the craft. Alongside teaching, I am actively involved in the metal scene with 'Illustratus,' a project where we are gearing up to launch new material in the coming years. Listen to our music at https://illustratusdoom.bandcamp.com/album/illustratus. My musical journey has seen me share the stage with esteemed bands like Suffocation, Devourment, and Blood Incantation to name a few. Despite my metal roots, I have a profound appreciation for diverse genres. From the intricate notes of classical and jazz to the soulful melodies of blues/RnB and the electrifying energy of rock and metal, my love for music knows no boundaries. Join me on a musical expedition as we navigate the limitless possibilities of the guitar across different genres and styles!
