SJ is originally from Cleveland, Ohio. SJ began his professional music career in 2009 when close friends and family heard his first demo recording and encouraged him to share his music with the world, and “to quit his day job”. After 15 years of playing music as a hobby, the shift from lawyer to musician was in full swing.
[youtube 9_Zo5iqCMw4]SJ has been a repeat performer at famous singer-songwriter venues around the U.S., has showcased at various music festivals and conferences including for BMI, and has been invited for several live radio and television appearances in connection with his music. SJ and his acoustic chops are officially sponsored by Taylor Guitars and Sennheiser.
