About

Based in Hampton, Virginia, this work blends music, visual art, event production, and community building into something that keeps evolving. With a BFA and a background in fine art, the approach is hands-on, collaborative, and always rooted in creative problem-solving.

Tornado Bait started in 2015 as a band, but it’s grown into something bigger, a vehicle for public art, radio segments, immersive shows, community partnerships, and storytelling in many forms. Whether curating live events, building mosaic installations with neighbors, or hosting variety shows like Hampton for the Holidays at the Hampton History Museum since 2017, the goal has always been the same: to connect people through shared experience. This work often lives in between genres and disciplines, in the grit of process, the weird beauty of collaboration, and the moments where creativity meets community in unexpected ways.
