For 20 years, I've written, produced, recorded, and performed music under a multiple stage names, personas, and projects. I've released seven albums, toured the country, and have had songs licensed for TV.
Through music, I found a deep passion for the creative process and – more broadly – a creative life. I feel most fulfilled while diving for ideas, dreaming new projects, and doing creative work.
Started in 2011, The Great American Desert was an exploration of belonging, a search for origin, and an experiment in interfacing with the ghosts of the past.
The songs featured stripped-down nostalgic folk tales of lament and loss, told through the dust-covered lens of early-20th-century Americana.
I released one album under this project name. The album, released by Yer Bird Records in 2012, is called Carson City.
Formed in 2013, Oquoa was my first experience in collaborative songwriting. The name itself was a collaborative creation crafted one letter at a time, person by person.
From 2013 to 2019, we self-released two LP's and one EP. We had one song featured on NBC's The Blacklist.
For me, Oquoa represented an exploration of the creative impulse itself, working through a group of people.
Formed in 2024, Dream Ghoul is my first solo exploration in full-band arrangement and production from the ground up.
It is a synthesis of all of my interests, passions, tastes, and philosophies, embodied in a single persona and vision.
The first album, A Forgotten Future, is an exploration of spectacle, nostalgia-as-commodity, hauntology, lost futures, mental illness, and belief as a tool.
