I'm an American living in Montreal. As a composer and pianist, I work with music in a way which mixes my classical training with pop/rock culture creating a vibrant and emotional music. My appeal is focused on a generation that is tired of listening to mainstream and is looking for a more sophisticated and fresh instrumental music. I have performed in a variety of venues from Coffee Houses to Carnegie Hall. My1998 recording First Light, produced by Narada Records spotlighted three exciting piano solos that gave people a taste of my musical style. In 2004, High Mountain Records released my solo album Days of the Year. In this CD, I tied a collection of powerful piano solos together by use of a repeated haunting theme much like in classical music's "Pictures at an Exhibition." I describe my style as cool classical which picks up on influences like Coldplay, and fellow pianists Keith Jarrett and Michael Nyman. In 2004, I premiered "Days of the Year" in Weill Recital Hall in Carnegie Hall. I was born in Buffalo, New York and moved to New York City to attend The Juilliard School. After receiving my Bachelors, I was invited on full scolarship to Princeton University where I received my Masters. I lived in New York City for half my life before moving North to Montreal to be with my wife.
