In 2018, he made his theatrical debut in the Lucille Lortel Award winning musical KPOP (Ars Nova, Ma-Yi Theatre, Woodshed Collective) at A.R.T. New York. Since then, he's continued acting and singing on stage and screen, for projects like The Other Two (HBO), Central Park (Apple) and High Maintenance (HBO). In 2022, he made his Broadway debut in KPOP (Circle in the Square Theatre), originating the role of LEX. He worked with organizations like Musical Theatre Factory, the National Alliance for Musical Theatre, Prospect Theatre Company, BMI, Berklee School of Music, and NYU's Musical Theatre Department.
