It was my name at birth.

Sometimes. I haven't, though, recently due to my time recording in a studio setting.

It allows people to obtain a wider variety of music and it also showcases more musicians and their talents to a wider audiance.

Yes I would. If the opportunity is there I will take it.

I started playing classical piano when I was 8 and it wasn't until 1993 that I began to write my own compositions. I had to wait a while until I had the opportunity to record my songs because I didn't have access to any recording equipment until 2001. Then I began to compile all of my songs - painstakingly organizing all my music and getting it ready for the audience to listen. Now that it's 2005, I'm now ready to let people hear what I have to offer. I hope you enjoy my music.

Too many to write - um...., Mozart, Beethoven, Dave Brubeck, Vince Guiraldi, George Winston, David Lanz, Liz Story, Jim Brickman, Aaron Copland, John Williams etc.

It would have to be Austin, TX - so diverse but yet so inviting. I spent a week down there and met so many interesting people and heard so many different styles of music.

I mainly use a Kurzweil 88 key stage piano to lay down my tracks. Then everything is mixed-down into Cubase SX3 to give the pieces a polished final feel to them. Finally, the tracks are recorded with the help of a TDK CD writer and lots of patience (4x CD-RWs are a bit slow) and then converted to mp3 format to be accesible to people on the internet.

Music should be accessible to everyone. Every style of music is appreciated by different people. I think people should write how they feel and people should not have restrictions on the type of music to listen to.
