I grew up playing Irish trad, fell in love with jazz and studied it compulsively. Then I fell in love with American music and moved to New York City to just play bluegrass and old-time. Before that I got side-tracked with an MTV-sponsored African fusion album.

I now play Brazilian choro in Rio de Janeiro and would like to compose for film.
