I specialize in pianos, synthesizers from any era, organs, vocals, drum programming, songwriting and composition. I have a diverse array of experience playing and producing many different genres including Americana, pop, rock, indie, synth-wave, chill-wave, folk, country, blues, and R&B.
I have a decade of experience working with Comedian John Early, Widowspeak, Jesse Malin, Hollis Brown, Don Dilego, Ezrat, Robert Earl Thomas, Anthony D'Amato, Tanbark, Kelley Swindall, Radiator King, and my own projects, Mail the Horse and HESS.
I work in Logic Pro from my home studio, or in person at any studio in the greater New York City Metropolitan area.

Michael was wonderful to work with - a talented arranger and player, and a pleasure to know. Can't wait to create together again!
