On a scholarship he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he performed at Wally's Cafe. In 2002 a grant from the Fulbright foundation gave him the opportunity to move to New York City. In 2003 he entered the Juilliard School scholarship jazz program and graduated in 2005.[1][3] He won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition in 2005.

He has performed at Smalls Jazz Club, Jazz Gallery, Blues Alley, Kennedy Center, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. He has worked with Seamus Blake, Ingrid Jensen, Carmen Lundy, Wynton Marsalis, Eric Revis,[3] Ron Carter, Mulgrew Miller, and Maria Schneider.[3][4]
