Taking a few minutes to reflect both before and after a performance keeps me focused and driven for more….
From Darkness Into Light
"From Darkness Into Light" embodies the struggle against, and the triumph over adversity. Something all of us can identify with these days. Incendium, the electric violin duo of Matt Bell and Jared Violin bring another new original song to life!
Nevermore
Sometimes it’s good to reflect on who we once were, who we now are, and the person we will be. Riding provides that escape for me to remind myself to always move forward. I hope you enjoy this new video showcasing one of my Indian Motorcycles, and some of the thoughts I use as fuel to keep me straight along my journey.

Duo Electric Violin and Electric Harp makes debut!
I’ve been so fortunate to live in Orlando where there is an overwhelming amount of creative and talented people that I am surrounded by. One of those is my great friend Deanna who is an unbelievable acoustic and electric harpist. I started to find that my corporate clients deserved something unique and different beyond a solo set or two from me. So, Deanna and I began compiling a few sets of music that we could play together on stage, as a special bonus to these large corporate events.

Be kind to one another and thanks for sharing in my love of music.

A Moment of Thanks
There’s so many ups and downs in all of our lives, and honestly each day over this past year is a struggle for me to continually move forward and keep grinding. Social Media is the highlights, and doesn't always see the behind the scenes of hard work and sacrifice that goes into all of our lives. So I just wanted to take a step back today and acknowledge so many people that make this career I've created possible. I can’t thank the event and wedding coordinators, producers, local venues, DMCs, entertainment agencies, and corporate clients enough that continually think outside of the box and look to book me for their unique events. I’ve been so fortunate to have a career that allows me to play my violin, and share my love of music and performing to so many across the country and around the world. And to my family and closest friends for knowing what it takes for me to do this every day. Your support means the world to me.
There are some amazing contracts in the works right now and sometimes I have to remind myself how wonderful that my "job" truly is.
Be kind to one another, and give someone a compliment today. It goes a long, long way. See you all soon.

Busking in Milan, Italy
