Craig grew up in Boston, Massachusetts, and his love for music began early. One of his first memories is listening to The Beatles in the car with his mom when he was just four years old. He remembers wondering how their voices could sound like instruments ,  a question that sparked a lifelong obsession with understanding music more deeply.

Although Craig is primarily a guitarist, the first instrument he ever played was bass, and he still has a soft spot for the low end. That foundational experience shaped the way he hears and feels music.

When asked what inspires him most, Craig’s answer was simple: Life. For him, music is a form of “sonic meditation.” Whether listening, writing, or performing, music creates a flow state ,  a space where emotions can be processed and expressed beyond words. It’s both grounding and freeing, he says.

His favorite songs to perform? An unexpected and fun tie between “Mambo No. 5” and an a cappella rendition of “Turn Down for What” a reflection of his playful and dynamic musical personality.
