Caleb comes from a family of musicians. He started performing at weddings and events when he was eight, and began forming his own projects by age twelve. At seventeen, Caleb began jazz studies at the University of Nevada, Reno. Since 2006, Caleb has been actively touring and traveling to work on multiple music projects. He has spent significant time recording in Nashville, TN, and in Los Angeles, CA. In 2009, he took time off the road to work on his second solo project (known as Daily Thumbprint Collection). The album includes performance and collaboration by more than twenty world class musicians, and is expected to be released in 2012. At 30, Caleb’s 20+ year career already includes performance on over 30 commercially released albums, and production/engineering credits on an additional 10 projects. Caleb currently lives in New York.

In 2004, Caleb founded SNP Records (www.snprecords.com), an independent recording group aimed at supporting the development of creative projects. SNP is run by musicians and focuses its reach on communities of musicians, not just their individual projects. To date, the record group has over 10 releases.
