More examples in the Audio/Video section
I often get the question of "How do you make it sound more full and interesting with just one violin?"  
Below are some videos with examples of different techniques that I use.  
This video is a collection of recordings from my TikTok account of pop songs. 
Memories - Maroon 5
Wonderwall - Oasis
Cruise - Florida Georgia Line
Shape of You - Ed Sheehan
I'll Be There - Jackson 5
Viva la Vida - Coldplay
Havana - Camila Cabello
​I'll Follow You Into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie



Excerpt of the Bach Cello Suite 1 Prelude... for Electric violin? Here you can hear some pedal effects at work to make my violin sound like a cello. 
Canon in D my Johann Pachelbel is usually played as a string quartet. I am able to create that quartet with one instrument demonstrated here.   

Video from real wedding - All of Me John Legend
I love to meet people in person or over Zoom. When that can't happen I will often just put together a video. Here is a quick phone recording that goes over my thought process and "what I do" when I perform for events.

April, 2, 2022 - Electric Violin improvisation for the Threads Fashion Show at Central Michigan University. I was hired to create the atmosphere for the fashion show. Here you will see me using my looping pedal, kick drum pedal, and a slew of other tools to create "house music" live.
