I grew up in Missouri and began playing the piano at age 7. When I turned 18, I moved to Colorado to study jazz and composition at the Lamont School of Music, a college of the University of Denver. In 2006, I shifted my focus to primarily contemporary composition at Goddard College, where I received a BA and am working on an MFA. I compose for a wide variety of instruments and settings, but recently released an album packed full of my original solo piano compositions called Reverie. I continue to work on new projects and will be releasing an album of small ensemble pieces and an album of piano/water music shortly.Have you performed in front of an audience?I play live worldwide but live in Denver, CO.
Your musical influences
I take my compositional influence primarily from my daily life and from nature. I am fortunate to live near the beautiful Rocky Mountains which are always a huge inspiration for me. I love any new minimalist contemporary composer and am particularly influenced by Phillip Glass, Morton Feldman, Rachel Grimes, Arvo Part, and many others.What equipment do you use?
Favorite piano is the Bosendorfer Imperial Grand
