Yes, wherever I can, although the public recital thing is still quite new to me - mostly I've just done either degree recitals or competitions, neither of which are usually as interesting... if, for some reason, you want me to play a recital where you are, please* let me know - the experience means a lot to me!

Did you know who I was before you saw this page? Did you know how I played? Even if you don't like me/how I played, I had the opportunity to present myself through mp3, which wouldn't have happened otherwise... and that's quite awesome.

hahahahhaaha... Of course, but I'm not really waiting for them to come calling.

I was born and grew up in Texas (Arlington, suburb of Dallas), doing the public school thing until I graduated high school and went to SMU for my bachelor's in music (studying with Dr. Carol Leone). After graduating in 2004, I took a year to do competitions and recitals - saw a lot of the world outside of the lone star state. I am now pursuing a doctorate at the University of Montreal (studying with Marc Durand) - it's quite a change of climate, if anything else...

All the "official" info is on the "official" website - there you can see what I "officially" do/did...

Ravel, Scriabin, Shostakovich, as well as the old standards like Brahms or Beethoven... although, P.D.Q. Bach was the reason I started really getting into music. Some of the more contemporary pianists I really enjoy listening to are Alexei Sultanov, Alessio Bax, Krystian Zimerman, amongst many others - I enjoy most all of the older generation (Arrau, Gilels, Horowitz, Michelangeli) because they were all so distinct.

Whatever's avaliable. I'm not wealthy enough to be picky.

I decided to sign up as an experiement to see if this site will get any hits on its own. If I get a recital/concert out of this I'd be elated...

I have a xanga and a personal website, so there's plenty about me there. Let me know if you've seen this site - I'm curious to see who will stumble upon this...
