At the age of seven, I started taking piano lessons, which continued for another thirteen years. During that period, I was classically trained, constantly worked on improving my sight reading, went through ear training, learned a good share about music theory as well as improvisation and ended up specializing in the re-arrangement of popular songs. During my final five years of taking piano lessons, I got involved with recording studio projects, spent two years in the high school choir developing a tenor voice, and ventured into composing. Recording studio and composing-specfic projects have included radio ads in the late 1980's, creating keyboard parts for aspiring pop and country performers in the 1980's and 1990's, and a demo of originals with a band called This Side Up in the early 1990's. I have also provided background music for special
events like weddings and graduation ceremonies for the past ten years. My debut album and most recent musical endeavor, The Way We Were, pays homage to timeless classics from the 1960's and early 1970's with tranquil, elegant arrangements for solo piano. |
