About Me

..

Record Producer, Music Composer, & Songwriter

I love music and what it does for us all! And I love writing and playing all styles: jazz, funk, rock, bluegrass, etc. - if it moves the soul... its great music.

One of my greatest passions is to sit down at a beautiful grand piano, forget where I am and just let my fingers capture the mood of the moment.

And then, pushing it into a whole new different reality, I love to pick up my standup acoustic bass and jam an eclectic mix of jazz, blues, bluegrass, or whatever suits the moment. Or, on the more intense side, its fun to grab my 5-string electric bass and create fun funky deep bass grooves that stretch and morph the music into different colors and directions.

I feel driven to create music that evokes cinematic & psychedelic imagery, deep reflection, and fun times that truly affect people for the better.

I have been writing, recording and performing music since I was a kid, and love collecting and playing lots of different musical instruments. They all look and sound so beautiful.

Here's my CD of original Piano music "Images of a Morning Dream". These are French romantic impressions for solo piano. I hope you enjoy it...
