Composer, studio engineer, vocalist and world class keyboard player, Jake studied piano, organ, voice, recorder and music theory as a young boy. By the age of 12, he was performing in the company of Arthur Fiedler of the Boston Symphony, Seiji Ozawa, Michael Tilson Thomas of the Philadelphia Philharmonic and The Boston Opera Company to name a few. He received scholarships from The Boston Archdiocese Choir School and The New England Conservatory of Music, attending N.E.C. and Boston College High School at the same time, all by the age of 18.
Although Jake is spending most of his energy writing and recording his own projects in Nashville, TN, he is involved in studio work via email and is available for concerts around the country, as well as solo and fill-in keyboard player here and abroad.
Thousands of hours in studio time, writing his own material for film, pop music and digital music for web, make Jake a dynamic, precision live player. He is known affectionately as One Take Jake!

Hi - I've enjoyed finding your music today. Here is a litle essay I wrote about the piano and what it means to me.
I touch the ebony and ivory gently at first Chords and melody begin to melt For a moment they stay Only to disappear into change Change just as beautiful as the last.
My piano... What feeling it inspires What beauty it creates If only for that moment Inviting all who listen Inviting all to see The amazing sounds and sights Wood with ebony and ivory keys.
Chords and melody Melting into Fiery reds and oranges Swirling whites and blues The echos of the last chords Still linger in the air. Sunset across the keys.
