Artist description Most people refer to my music as 'romantic piano'. Sometimes they call it 'New Age' or "Spiritual'. It's kind of hard to label music when it's constantly changing and evolving, and my music is always doing that. Someone once called my music 'soul music'. I liked that a lot. In the last 5 or 6 years so much has happened in my heart and head musically, that I have a new perspective about life, love, fear, peace, judgement, family, romance and a lot of new feelings about my own form or style of music. You know how the hair stands up on your arms or the back of your neck sometimes? That's the way life is supposed to be all the time! One big "hair on the back of your arms experience!" Whether it's because of what someone has said, what you've seen, what you've thought, or what you've heard... music is energy and I think it's as important to be responsible with your musical energies as with any thing else you do. My music is the most honest way I've learned to share what I've found on my path, on my journey, inside my heart and within my soul. I love playing music for people more than anything else. Maybe listening to this music, you'll find a part of you that you've forgotten or simply had not yet realized was even there. And maybe, from you listening, I'll do the same.

Music Style Romantic Piano

Musical Influences I've always loved movie music. Though I've always felt really connected to the cello and other stringed instruments, writers and performers like David Foster, David Lanz and James Newton Howard have always managed to move places in me that made me feel so

Similar Artists People sometimes say my music reminds them of Jim Brickman, Jim Chappell or Suzanne Ciani. Some say I sound like George Winston, but really I believe we sound nothing alike.

Artist History My history is possibly way too complex. I've been a single contract writer, lyricist, studio pianist, backup vocalist while simultaneously making t-shirts, selling fudge, roasting coffee and living in the New Mexican mountains. I'm always changing and where I am now is better than anywhere I think I've ever been. But every place is equally important. After years of playing everyone else's music, and loving it, I started recording my own music in the summer of 1996. More than any other audience, i love the ones where people just wanna sit quietly for a few minute s and go somewhere new. That circular experience is the most awesome thing i know of.

Instruments I play piano. Little ones, big ones and sometimes ones that really really need a good tuning. I just bought the piano of my dreams last year. It's a six foot, 12 year old yamaha grand. The first time I played it, I asked for it to be mine. I got it.

Albums I've recorded a couple. But my favorite one is "Fearless". Ever heard of "A Course in Miracles"?

Additional Info Poetry and prose. Grammer ain't so good, but I love writing it anyway.
