T.J. was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. Though basketball was his first love, he signed up for a beginning guitar class during his freshman year of high school and fell in love with music. He went on to receive his BA in Music and spent several years after college working in production, recording, songwriting, and session work as a guitar player in Nashville and L.A. He is extremely excited to be a part of Notes For Notes, and can’t wait to hear what the next generation of musicians and artists have to say.
