I am a cellist and poet who works at the intersection of sound and language.

WHAT I DO

Live poetry collaborations
Literary readings + performances
Improvised or composed cello accompaniment
Acoustic (traditional) or electric cello

For over 16 years, I’ve played the cello to listen, respond, and speak alongside poetry, creating performances where music becomes part of the text itself.

Each performance is shaped in conversation with the poems — never the background, always in dialogue.
