Pianist/Composer
I perform and compose contemporary jazz piano music. My writing combines inspiration from jazz greats such as Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock with modern influences from smooth jazz, pop, folk, and contemporary classical music.

Praise for my single, "Subway People"
"'Subway People' exudes class and jazziness, particularly with its standout keys. The playing is simply amazing, with mesmerizing melodies, progressions, and impressive solos that captivate the listener. The tones are rich and chill, creating a relaxed atmosphere. The drums provide a smooth backdrop, contributing to the overall polished sound. The mix and master on the keys are spot-on, offering a full and lush listening experience." --Brunch Collect

"The cadence of the piece is masterfully executed, with each phrase flowing seamlessly into the next, creating a sense of fluidity and motion that is utterly entrancing. There's a sense of forward momentum that propels the listener ever onward, like a gentle breeze guiding them through a tranquil forest." --Showland Productions
