Artistic Portfolio

A Collection of my Work in Acting and Music

Truthful performance. Lasting connection.

Actor & creator dedicated to realism, authenticity, and meaningful collaboration.

Overview

I’m an actor and musician with a focus on realistic, emotionally honest work on stage and behind the scenes. Whether I’m performing, writing, or producing, I care most about connecting with people in a way that feels genuine.

My background in business gives me a unique perspective on how entertainment can do more than entertain. It can inspire, influence, and scale. I want to help shape stories that are both creatively powerful and strategically impactful. This portfolio highlights the projects that have shaped my voice as a performer, and where I’m headed next.

Bridges (Upcoming EP)

Bridges is a collection of songs that reflect on connection, growth, and the moments that bring people together. Each track captures a stage of life from the quiet reflection of childhood to the chaos of the modern world—tied together by an underlying sense of hope and unity.

The EP opens with When I Was 9, a nostalgic introduction built around a heartbeat pulse that echoes the innocence of youth. Footprints follows, bright and energetic, celebrating discovery and the wonder of seeing the world with fresh eyes. Dancing in the Kitchen offers a more intimate moment—an honest portrayal of love, comfort, and connection found in the simplest places.

Breaking News shifts the tone, blending modern production with lyrical urgency as it explores the noise and confusion of today’s world. It closes with Bridges, an uplifting anthem about unity and shared humanity—a reminder that we’re stronger when we build toward one another.

Bridges captures the essence of finding light through change. Each song stands as a bridge—linking people, memories, and moments into something timeless.
