I'm a concept artist and music educator based out of Los Angeles, California. My artistic focus is writing and recording full concept albums which can be downloaded FREE by following the links on the left. These compositions have appeared in movies, television shows, and advertisements. I'm currently looking to collaborate with a visual artist to create a cross-media conceptual piece to be shown in art galleries nationwide.
I also work with A Place Called Home to provide free music lessons to at-risk youth in South Central LA. Check out the videos below to learn more about A Place Called Home and the APCH Music Program.
