My journey with music began at age 9, taking guitar lessons with John Tosco right here in Charlotte. Since then, I’ve become obsessed with rock and roll, started bands, earned a music degree from UNC-Chapel Hill, and worked as a booking agent. Now, over 20 years since the journey began, I perform and record bass and guitar with a band called Late Night Special.


Inspiring others to get excited about playing music through my own performances was the main thing that drove me to start teaching. Kids would approach me with a huge smile after shows for advice or a photo with me and my guitar, and that became as important to me as playing the music itself. It reminded me of all the little things I loved about going to lessons as a kid that inspired me to stay the course; posters of iconic instruments and legendary bands onstage, old guitar magazines, mix CDs with songs I’d never forget, and opportunities to see live music. I realized that I could create my own version of that for my students, so that’s what I’m setting out to do.
My priorities are to understand what moves my students, what their goals are, and to lead them toward success and fulfillment with their instrument. Students of Tito’s Music Studio will learn the fundamentals of playing technique, music theory, and learning songs by ear. Whether they want to learn how to play Taylor Swift songs for fun or prepare themselves for a career in music, there’s something for everyone here. The most important thing I want to give to students is a space for them to be themselves and explore their musical passions without barriers.
Let’s rock today!
