Guitarist
Beginning lessons on the guitar at the early age of 5, his unique and sought-after sound is in direct correlation with his diverse ancestry, taking influences from European and Indian classical, Jazz/Blues, as well as incorporating musical vocabulary from his studies with legendary Palestinian composer and Oud player Simon Shaheen, and disciple of Paco de Lucia, flamenco guitarist Ruben Diaz.
