I’m a Brooklyn-based artist and writer.
As a writer, my interview subjects have spanned the worlds of the arts, culture, business, and politics, including singer-songwriters Alicia Keys and Erykah Badu, model Naomi Campbell, human rights icon Winnie Mandela, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, and many others.
In addition to penning a few screenplays, I am developing, as lyricist and arranger, a queer, pop-infused, English-language update of Bizet’s opera Carmen. Set in 1970s New York City, my Carmen is a young, male street hustler, Don José a rookie cop, and Escamillo a brash city council candidate in the spirit of Harvey Milk.
Needing to also work in a form that I can finish and get in front of audiences quickly, I began a photography practice in 2024.
In my off-time, I am at the beach, roaming streets in New York or various locations in France, or tumbling down pop-culture rabbit holes on YouTube, Mubi, or the Criterion Channel. LA-born, NJ-bred, Columbia grad.
