Southern California Keyboardist

About Me

I've been playing Keyboards/Piano since the age of 5 years old. Though I do play most styles of music including everything from Blues, Gospel, Rock, Jazz, Country to Polka, Television/Movie Music & everything in between, I especially enjoy playing Smooth Jazz.

Some of my favorite artists include David Benoit, Spyro Gyra, Fourplay, Joe Sample, Boney James, Marcus Johnson, Brian Culbertson and Dave Koz to name a few.

All of the music on the above samples were played/recorded by me.

I will be placing new songs on here every once in a while as they are arranged and recorded so check back often!

Thanks for dropping by!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/20/2006
Influences: Joe Sample, David Benoit, Tom Schuman, Bob James, Chick Corea, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Thomas Dolby, Howard Jones, and every other 80's synth player that made keyboards look so cool that I actually wanted to practice(jam) an average of 3 hours a day (not counting multiple music classes at school) during my Jr. High and High School Years 1983-1988 shaping me into the player I am today. Also, The Army Band (1988-1991) definitely influenced my playing "majorly" as well. (no pun intended!) ha-ha
