I

live and breathe music as a songwriter, guitarist, producer, and educator.  For me, music and creativity are more than just pursuits – they’re guiding lights that keep me authentic and connected to my playful inner spirit. I believe in pushing boundaries, which has led me on some wild adventures: from an $800 trip to LA chasing music dreams, to teaching in China, to studying musicology in Utrecht.

I find healing through songwriting, letting my most honest experiences flow into my music. I’m constantly expanding my creative network, believing that the best music comes from genuine collaboration and honest feedback.

Whether I’m teaching, producing, or performing, I bring a refreshing mix of professionalism and childlike curiosity to everything I do. I keep my creative spirit alive through daily practices like meditation, journalling, wandering the city streets, always staying open to new inspiration.

Music and lyrics by Tom Watkins, directed by Ben Manhanke , recorded by Andrew Stephens
