Music

Everything music I have to share

I’ve been playing violin since age 3 and have devoted over two decades to music.

I hold a bachelor’s degree from New England Conservatory, where I not only honed technical skills but also explored a rich variety of musical styles—from classical and jazz to Middle Eastern, Bollywood, R&B, blues, soul, and hip-hop. This wide range of influences shapes my unique and evolving voice as a violinist, performer, improviser, composer, and producer.
