My goal as an artist is to continue to master different instruments to my growing repertoire of what I play now. These include violin, viola, guitar, recorder, flute, trumpet, ukulele, banjo, piano, harmonica, and mandolin. My goal also applies to writing different styles of music. I have and continue to write reggae, rock n’ roll, folk, country, classical, renaissance, baroque, jazz, Celtic, etc.
My recent achievements have been playing with The Traction Avenue Chamber Orchestra as well as being a band member and musical director for the progressive-rock band, Canon.
Being a graduate at Los Angeles Recording Workshop in the North Hollywood Arts District was an educational achievement of mine as well as being trained under music professionals. I was previously trained by many top vocalists including Seth Riggs (other students include Prince, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson). Choir, composing, 16th and 18th century counterpoint was trained by Francis Wells.
My employment history includes working under David Campbell for three years as an arranger and orchestrator. In my youth, I was in many major stage musicals such as the Off-Broadway, “Les Misérables”.
Lastly, I teach music to many talented artists and have a great joy instilling knowledge into their lives.

Hi! How are you doing? Not checked in with you in a while but hoping all is ticked-booo.. Please go and check out my latest creation- video to Ivory Tower. I am immensely proud and happy with it! Downloads available too! Would love to hear your feedback. Love and light to you. xx
Nothing is set yet as far as the orchestra's next shows, but I really would like to do a Halloween one this year, and I don't see any reasons why we couldn't. So...I think it'd be cool if we play something "spooky" that you write.
Yea, the concert turned out really cool and I was really happy and pleasantly surprised by a few of the musicians who I hadn't worked with before - they really played well together.
Yea, actually my sister filmed it, but I haven't seen the footage yet, I'm looking for someone who has a digital video camera I can borrow so that I can transfer the mini DV to my computer. I can send you some footage when I have it, if you want to see, or I'll probably upload some of it to youtube or something.
