Artist description I write new romantic and classical music for piano. I use an emotional compass to guide me, rather than thinking in terms of the form first; I let the form develop with the mood. I don't consciously think about other composers. I try to create an authentic emotional journey. I have studied the classics extensively; I have a BA in music composition. You will hear influences from the masters, but I think you'll hear my own voice as well.

Music Style New Classical, New Romatic, Instrumental, Mood music, New Age

Artist History I began taking piano lessons in 1976; I was 16. Within 3 months, I was composing for piano; my first piece was inspired by The Pink Panther theme. Since then, my influences have come mostly from Classsical and Romantic music, and jazz. During the decades since, I have written hundreds of compositions, mostly for the piano, but I've also written for voice, string quartet, and woodwind quintet. It makes me happy when people enjoy my music. I have always tried to create beauty; these days that's a rare destination.
