I'm taking on more students! I've been teaching since I was a wee 15 year old, never going a year without students. It has become an essential part of my own practice, keeping the inspiration flowing, as each student challenges me to reframe and adapt. I'm proud of the frameworks I've developed, bringing together everything I've learned so far...like the clever notation and learning systems from Gary Chester and Billy Martin, who got inspiration from beautiful simple early west African notation systems (ugh western sheet music rhythm, don't get me started)...the Principles of Movement I learned from my dad, informing embodiment practice, and the adaptation of exercise parameters and teaching methods to meet students where they are, and for what they want to achieve...adapting 8 layer studio grooves to live performance...I love this stuff more than anything, and I love to help others on their journey. I used to feel like an imposter in education, having dropped out of music school. Now I feel like I have something special to offer anyone, no matter their skill level ormedium.

So let's play!! I travel and have a spot in Chapel Hill.

Hi friends, I'm proud to formally launch my new business, hilariously acronymed GACS. I've gotten pretty good at all kinds of things over the last decade, mostly from my art projects and record label @sleepycatrec, as well as my work with the family business, @polestarpilates. Sleepy Cat has been steadily growing, and while it's taking more of my time and love, it's not paying the bills yet. Please take a sec to scroll through my website to see what I can do for you or your people. I especially love teaching drums, art direction, package design, campaign design, and working closely with people to bring visions to fruition.

Thanks to everyone who has trusted me with their work over the years!

In other exciting news, I'll be sharing 2 new Strange Bug records in the new year. A solo piano record, and an electronic video-gamey record.

Link in bio for the new website. Hmu!

There's something wrong
Inside my head
I'm feeling dead
I smile widely
At the heads

Describing it to you
Feeling heard
Feeling felt

It helps me sway
Along my day
Breathe through the pain
Sleep off the grey

I made 3 hotdogs
Couldn't see the takeout on the table
Couldn't be not alone
Biked to the bar alone
Laughed at the band alone

It helps me sway 
Along my day
Breathe through the pain
Pleasure in play

I am shaped light
I am afraid
I am growing flames
I am a shade of hope
I am too young to close
I am watching life
I am falling smoke
I am failing slowly
I am just enough
I am all my friends
I am all the love
I am sad inside
I am running through concrete
I am crying with you
You are playing nice
You are holding time
You notice me in pain
You make me laugh 
I am not alone
I am more than me
I am more than me
I am more than me
