ABOUT

I am a composer and pianist who has played professionally in a variety of settings since the 1980s when I also began recording some of my compositions and releasing them to radio. I've recorded several albums, have played for PMs, ambassadors, senators, MPs, MPPs and other dignitaries. I've performed solo and with a variety of other musicians and even with a 40 piece orchestra but mainly drummers, bass and acoustic/lead guitarists and sax players. Pre-pandemic, I accompanied three choirs - two of them church-based and involving stipends. I am recently retired from the federal government so after wanting to pursue music full time my whole life essentially, it's nice to be able to have the freedom to pick and choose but also to focus more on the music I feel called to do. My own music is instrumental, but I am quite open to doing gospel and/or other contemporary Christian music - as well as some world music perhaps - with like-minded and proficient musicians of all ages.
