Founded in 2013, we have played numerous concerts, including at the Kulturpass Neuenhaus, the Nordhorner Musiksommer, and at venues such as the Alte Weberei and Brauhaus. Praised by critics as "eclectic" and "a young band with musical talents", we have achieved our ultimate goal of bringing exciting jazz and soul into the province. You can check out some our music in the videos below.
Fulbright connects people, sometimes more than you would think. Having met the highly talented lawyer & singer Ani Papanyan from Armenia at a Fulbright seminar on entrepreneurship, we decided to realize one of our lifelong dreams: playing a jazz gig in New York. The entire concert at Silvana's in Harlem can be found in the video on the right.
I have numerous other musical side projects going on.
I couldn't forget my Ann Arbor based band Local Optimist Club, which focuses on Funk and Rock. We started out as a literal garage band and can't wait to hit the local bar scene once it's safe again.
The only COVID-safe way to make music is of course all by yourself so feel free to check out my quarantine edition cover of Here Comes the Sun on the left.
I also picked up some song-writing and arranging through the years, including arranging for big band and choir. Most recently, I wrote my brother and his wife a wedding medley. Check it out!
