He uses no backing tracks.

Experience
I've been playing music in some capacity since I was 6 years old, under the tutelage of renowned choral instructor and organist, Charles Dodsley Walker. When I was teenager, I started getting into Rock music and was mostly self-taught on guitar, playing with a dedicated group of local musicians, and practicing more of my "rock" singing. In college, I was the Music Director of Fordham University's original all-male acappella group, and studied Music Theory, Composition and History, in addition to a double major in Philosophy. In about 2015, I took the dive into playing music full-time. The rest ... , as they say, is history. :)
Previous Clients
I've been lucky to work with everyone from private individuals, social clubs, and small businesses, to Fortune 500 companies and global brands. Some of those bigger names include Dior, Audi, Volkswagen, The New York Yacht Club, The Metropolitan Club, and Time Out Group.
