About me
Origin
1
I grew up chasing classical pieces like Recuerdos de la Alhambra—obsessing over touch, tone, and the kind of discipline that teaches you how to listen to silence. Those early years weren’t just about learning guitar; they were about learning sensitivity. How a note can tremble, how restraint can say more than volume, how emotion can live inside technique.

Now I write and perform music for people who feel everything a little too much. For the ones who’ve served until they’re empty, loved until it hurts, and still show up again anyway. If you’ve ever carried more than you can explain—if your inner world is loud and your outer life keeps moving—this is music meant to meet you there.

Then I fell headlong into electric guitar—bands, late nights, loud rooms, and the strange magic of early recording. I loved the grit and the risk of it. The way a take could be imperfect and still feel more honest than anything polished. That era rewired me: sound wasn’t just sound anymore—it was texture, memory, atmosphere, confession.

Somewhere between Austin sessions and Jazz studies at Baylor, it clicked. I wasn’t just “playing guitar” anymore—I was trying to score the feeling of being human. The tension between hope and ache. The warmth inside grief. The way love can save you and hollow you out in the same breath. I started writing like I was translating something I couldn’t say any other way.

Patient and Encouraging
My experience with Rooted Music has been phenomenal! Josh met me right where I was as a player and helped me to understand so much more of how I was playing and, more importantly, how to take my playing to the next level! With patience, encouragement, and no judgement or pressure, he has helped me in ways I never would have thought of on my own.
