My root influences come from New Age artists, such as David Lanz, Wayne Gratz, and Paul Cardall. More recently I've been studying French Impressionist composers such as Debussy and Ravel, as well as many great jazz pianists like Bill Evans, Art Tatum, Thelonius Monk, and others. While my previous CD stayed firmly rooted in New Age piano music, I'm exploring many new paths from classical to electronica. I'll be taking a break from musical pursuits for two years while serving a mission for my church, but when I return it should be interesting the direction my music takes.
