NOW with his solo tour The Darkness Behind with live sampling and storytelling, you cant miss it, your life will definitely change!! The Darkness BehindThe Darkness Behind is a solo multimedia performance that explores the many meanings behind its title: surviving darkness, leaving darkness behind, and the ongoing tension between memory and freedom.Using violin, voice, live looping, and electronic textures, I build an evolving sonic landscape for each composition in real time. The performance combines cinematic music, experimental sound, and personal storytelling to create an immersive live experience.This work follows performances at venues including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and One World Trade Center
