Biography

Born and raised on the South Shore of Massachusetts. Always liked music: singing in choir, taking piano lessons. Didn't start seriously composing until junior year of college. Since then I've been working tirelessly to write, find my own voice, and get my music out there. I am interested in writing music that is accessible to everyone. This is perhaps why I have such an affinity to film music: it tells stories and conveys emotions through a means that is simple, yet deep, and sometimes even elusive. Like the art of writing for film, I tend to write music that either augments experience or tells stories with the pure emotion only music can convey.
