About Me

I am a classically trained pianist who likes to experiment with combining gospel, jazz and classical as a style. I write music, arrange music, play music -piano (I'm rusty with several other instruments as well) and have been learning to produce music in the last few years. I started taking piano lessons at the age of four and continued up through college. I've always loved music and found that it (and lyric writing/poetry). I'm grateful to God for the gifts He's bestowed on me and I hope to encourage by sharing my love of music.Myspace Backgrounds
