A talented musician and music professor at New York University, he has built an impressive career both on stage and in the classroom. With over 10,000 followers on Instagram, he regularly shares behind-the-scenes glimpses into his life, practice session videos, and reflections on his journey in the entertainment world. His professional experiences include performing alongside renowned artists like David Byrne and Carly Rae Jepsen, adding to his growing reputation in the music industry.

Before rising to fame, his passion for music began in his hometown of Chicago, where he sang in his local church choir. While he is self-taught on the bass guitar, his musical foundation was enriched by piano lessons from his grandfather. Music clearly runs in the family, as his sister has also been involved in choir performances in Chicago.

In addition to his musical accomplishments, he’s also made a name for himself on Broadway, showcasing his versatility as a performer. In 2022, he was in the spotlight for a different reason—dating actress Katie Holmes—further bringing public attention to his multifaceted life in the arts.
