Based in New York City, he’s known for his fluid technique and adventurous collaborations, often fusing acoustic instrumentation with subtle electronic textures. Releases like *Elements Of Light* and *808* showcase his genre-blurring approach, mixing vibraphone melodies with synth experiments and rhythmic boldness, while nods to jazz standards (like *Desafinado*) highlight his deep roots in the tradition.
