Fifteen years ago, I picked up a blues guitar at a local shop in Metro Detroit—and haven't stopped playing since. In 2018, I enrolled at the University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theatre & Dance to study guitar and music production, building a strong foundation in both performance and creative technology. Over the past two years, I’ve worked at the intersection of music, media, and brand experience—interning at Relix Magazine and managing the New York City showroom for D’Angelico Guitars, where I supported artists and strengthened community relationships. Today, I split my time between performing and producing. I play guitar in Dallas Wax, release electronic music as WINSKI, and continue to write, record, and perform across the U.S.
