Music and Performance

I sing and I play and I write.

Known mainly for my solo work, I've also had many collaborations and bands. Some producers like to use me as a secret weapon.

In my cello technique you'll hear a working knowledge of many genres. I like to bridge the tactile pleasures of the cello with various technical, sonic, rhythmic and stylistic elements from other traditions.

Scroll for a fun trip down memory lane.
