Composer, Producer and Pianist for hire.
Do you play live?
I play live every Sunday for a local church here in Roanoke, Virginia.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows musicians from all walks of life to be embraced by the world with their gift of music 24/7. It gives us a since of worth when other people acknowledge these works and are moved by their rythmic beats.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the opportunity presented itself, and under the right circumstances, concerning the offer...yes, a distribution deal.
