"As a pianist I have been inspired
by many jazz greats. To name a few; Oscar Peterson, Bill
Evans, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Thelonious Monk.
As a composer, I have been influenced by jazz, classical,
pop and film composers from Bach to the Beatles,
from John Coltrane to John Williams. Music has
been in my blood as far back as I remember. I enjoy writing
different styles of music whether I'm playing the music myself
or writing for other musicians. With today's computers and
technology a composer's boundaries are endless. Writing and
producing music continues to be exciting and challenging."
