About Me

Welcome to my music page.

Just another extension of my many musical interests. Let's just say I have my hands in many projects such as classical piano and chamber music, assistant producer for KUHF Houston Public Radio's "The Front Row" Show (hear it daily on 88.7 or www.kuhf.org from 3-4), singing in PARS Persian Flamenco Music Fusion, teaching music, piano, and voice to young future music stars.

Upcoming projects include musical works for short films and a new music project. Compositional collaborations include Houston Ballet Academy, Deep Ella, Concert Woment's Chorus at University of Houston, and Mildred's Umbrella Theater Company. I am always looking for more collaborations so let me know if I can be of musical service...
