I’m a traveling musician at heart — a modern-day troubadour who’s spent a lifetime seeking sound, harmony, rhythm, and community. From my first classical piano lessons as a child to studying accordion with a Russian master at twelve, music has always been my compass.

I’ve played wherever a melody could live — on the streets of Europe, in bars, festivals, restaurants, and tiny cafés around the world. I’ve jumped on stages with strangers, shouted chords mid-song, scribbled chords & scales on paper, and turned every jam into something alive and unpredictable. That’s where music truly breathes — in the moment, between people.

My journey took me from a Jazz & Reggae in London to flamenco nights in Spain, and through the wild heart of gypsy music across Eastern Europe. Along the way, I learned from incredible masters — Russian, French, Spanish, Moldovan — each leaving their mark on my sound and soul.

After earning my degree in Jazz and World Music from Goldsmiths, University of London, I was in San Francisco, teaching some new friends in California. They told me about this new platform called ‘Youtube’ and encouraged me to upload a few videos to show how to improvise gypsy-style. That’s how my Gypsy Accordion channel was born in 2007.Today, I still travel, play, and teach — always searching for that next rhythm, that next connection. Because for me, music isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am.
