Ever since my father’s introduction to expressive improvisational piano playing, my mothers introduction to formal and rigid classical studies, and my own discovery of the pallet that is electronic music, the purpose of my education and continued growth in music has been the same. That purpose is to materialize my passion and love for harmony and rhythm while spreading the joy that is listening to and creating music. My growth has been a rewarding and infinite experience that has turned me into the person I am today. My goal is to surround myself with others that are having the same experience and use this communal strength to create new and unforgettable music.
Having studied many worlds of music for nearly eleven years with many unforgettable educators and professors, I’ve been given the opportunity to play with many brilliant musicians all around the bay area. I have played with grammy award winning Mads Tolling, Chris Amberger, Bennet Friedman and many other fantastic musicians. I’ve been part of a very successful high school jazz combo, taking first in our division at nearly every north bay jazz festival we’ve attended, and playing in great venues putting on our own shows in clubs like the Razz Room in San Francisco.
My own development in electronic music in a little over a year has given me experience professionally, already having more than twenty original tunes and remixes released on several different record labels. My music is being sold on iTunes and Beatport alike, and I have sold units all around the world.
This little but gratifying success is not to be attributed to a pre-conceived talent or a god given gift. It is instead a manifestation of my deep passion and the inspiration I find daily through hard work and practice. I am excited for what I make of the future and what it makes of me. One thing is certain, I will never turn from music.
