Join Kevin Olusola – beatboxer, cellist, and member of the Grammy-award winning a capella group Pentatonix – and I in a mini-documentary over what I do in addition to music in the final episode of #WhereMusicLives. We explore my home where I live with horses and cars as well as my school where I make music with other musicians. Click here to learn more! Watch the trailer here! Watch the full episode here!

I grew up in the prairies of Oklahoma, but music has taken me everywhere. Bassoon is my main instrument. I have performed at Carnegie Hall and across Europe. I regularly participate in clinics and musical exhibits and I compete internationally.
The Purcell Register ran a feature story in 2015 about my start in bassoon performance. It's like a time capsule of my life at age 14! The news section is called "An Interesting Neighbor." Click below to read it now.
One of my favorite bassoon pieces to perform is by Daniel Baldwin. It's called "River of Light" and is inspired by another work of art - a painting. Click below to watch my 2018 performance of "River of Light."
