About Me

At the wee age of 7 i took my first piano lesson. I took about 4 or 5 from that woman until i got fired lol for always being late. I took about 3 years off and then began to teach myself how to read music and play. Ever since my fingers played my first legit. tune "Rhapsody In Blue" by George Gershwin, i was hooked. I played classical piano for about 3 or 4 years and then stopped playing piano all together. A year went by and still no music from the household. Then i heard my first jazz recording of Herbie Hancock and Oscar Peterson playing a duet and it made me rethink my approach to music. i began practicing 4-6 hours a day and Voila! a few years later and here i am. SOOO there thats my bio. ;-)
