About
While I pursued a career in science and got a PhD in neuroscience, music has always been my main passion. I've played music my whole life, first as a classical saxophonist and then later on as a singer songwriter. The band started out playing originals (which we still do!), but for the last couple of years we have discovered the joys of performing cover sets in bars, clubs, and last but not least: weddings! I love the connection it creates, and I hope to make your day a little extra awesome!
