Ryan
I’ve been passionate about music for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I had the opportunity to play in a funk rock band, performing at various rock 'n' roll bars in New York City, which shaped my style and honed my live performance skills. My journey took a turn as I delved into jazz guitar for over five years, enriching my versatility and allowing me to blend genres creatively. In addition to guitar, I’ve played the Japanese bamboo flute for over 11 years, deepening my appreciation for traditional music. I love sharing my knowledge with others and helping students discover their own unique musical voices.

Kenneth
Fifteen years ago, I picked up a blues guitar at a local shop in Metro Detroit—and haven't stopped playing since. In 2018, I enrolled at the University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theatre & Dance to study guitar and music production, building a strong foundation in both performance and creative technology. Over the past two years, I’ve worked at the intersection of music, media, and brand experience—interning at Relix Magazine and managing the New York City showroom for D’Angelico Guitars, where I supported artists and strengthened community relationships. Today, I split my time between performing and producing. I play guitar in Dallas Wax, release electronic music as WINSKI, and continue to write, record, and perform across the U.S.
