About the Author
I am a poet and dreamer at heart. Music is just one of the canvases on which I use to capture the colors, images, and emotions I feel. I try to live each day with passion and touch the lives of those around me. May some of what you hear touch chords deep within your heart, and may it help fuel the passions that burn within each of you.
About the Music
Emerson wrote, "The quality of imagination is to flow and not to freeze.", and I believe this is very true. Each of my songs represents parts of a story or image whose essence is more than I can convey in words.

Do you play live?
Yes. I play live at coffee houses.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes music more accessible, and at the same time, it seems to lower the demand for "hard copies" of music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I just produced my own album. I am mostly interested in a distribution contract.
Band History:
Over the last six years, my local following has increased, and many of my good friends have encouraged me to try and get my music out to the more general public. To that end, I produced a home demo. From interest in it, I decided to get an album professionally recorded. I was blessed with the opportunity to work with a really sweet grand piano at Cue Recording Studios and an awesome engineer, Mike Andreski. When this album is released in a month or so, I plan on working hard at promoting my music through the means available to me.
Your influences?
Classical music, rock and roll from the 70's, 80's and 90's, Michael Jones, David Lanz, George Winston, Enya, and many more.
Favorite spot?
My favorite spot is near the ocean. My favorite city is the Northern Virginia suburb of Washington, DC.
Equipment used:
I use a Technics Digital Ensemble PR-200 at home as my controller, but I prefer playing on Yamaha or Kawaii grand pianos.
