Music is my passion, and I’ve been fortunate enough to experience it from both sides of the stage. As a drummer for several DC bands, I’ve contributed to the vibrant local music scene. But my love for music extends beyond performing; I’m also a dedicated talent buyer, connecting artists with audiences and creating unforgettable live experiences.
At Extraordinary Events, I leverage my dual expertise as a musician and a talent buyer to curate exceptional entertainment for our clients. I understand the nuances of live performance, the importance of artist relations, and the power of music to transform an event.

It’s witnessing the magic of live music and seeing the audience connect with the artists. There’s an indescribable feeling I get watching an audience connect with an artist, knowing that I played a part in creating that moment. Whether it’s a small, intimate show or a large-scale event, the shared joy and excitement of live performances are what make it all worthwhile.
My journey into the world of music and events began with a deep passion for drumming. I’ve been playing for over 20 years and love exploring different genres, from rock and jazz to world music. This passion led me to perform with numerous DC bands, including The Sea Life, Reagan Cats, Walk The Plank, Den-Mate, and Tosser, contributing to the vibrant local music community. These experiences not only fueled my love for music but also gave me a firsthand understanding of the artist’s perspective, which has been invaluable in my career as a talent buyer.
Beyond performing, I discovered a passion for connecting artists with audiences and creating unforgettable live experiences. This led me to the world of talent buying, where I could leverage my musical background and understanding of the industry to curate exceptional entertainment. I was driven by a desire to create opportunities for artists and share their music with the world.
As a talent buyer at notable venues like Union Stage, Pie Shop, The Pocket, and Songbyrd Music House, I’ve honed my skills in booking diverse artists, negotiating contracts, and fostering relationships with musicians and industry professionals. I believe that building strong relationships is crucial in this industry, and I take pride in creating a positive and supportive environment for artists. I’ve learned that successful talent buying involves more than just logistics; it’s about understanding the needs and aspirations of both the artists and the venue. My work in the DC music scene has even been featured in publications like The Washington Post, Washingtonian, Bandcamp Daily, and Washington City Paper.
Talent buying is more than just booking acts; it’s about understanding the needs of both the artists and the audience. It’s about creating a synergy that results in a truly memorable experience for everyone involved. My experience as a musician gives me a unique perspective on the needs of artists, allowing me to create a supportive and collaborative environment. I’m passionate about fostering a sense of community within the music industry and helping artists thrive.
I’m excited to continue my journey as a talent buyer, exploring new avenues and connecting extraordinary musicians with unforgettable events. I believe that the future of the music industry lies in embracing diversity, fostering collaboration, and creating experiences that resonate with audiences on a deeper level. I’m eager to contribute to the evolution of the music industry and help shape its future.
