Artist History I started studying piano at an early age(5) and continued studying within a traditional classical framework through college where I was a music major, specializing in piano and composition. I was exposed at an early age to jazz by my father and developed a love for spontaneous, improvisational music. I learned pop and jazz piano on my own and gigged in the greater L.A. area for many years. I now reside in another state where the tempo of life is less hectic and I can focus on my music (both performance and composing. This is now my life's work, and it is my intention that my life and feelings become an integral part of my music.

Instruments Piano, Synthesizers (for electronica and easy listening)
