Professional Pianist in Nashville, TN. I'm a ghost-arranger for artists and labels around the world. Tons of studio and live experience. Piano, B3.
I've dedicated my life to mastering the art of piano. At 5 years old, I began classical training which continued for 17 years straight. I discovered a passion for music theory and jazz, and dove deep into my own training on the side. I've become extremely well-rounded in most practical genres of music - country, classic rock, jazz, blues, folk, and everything in between. I'm 23, and moved to Nashville 6 months after graduating from the University of Tennessee with my BA in Music (piano). I'm here to leave my mark.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog if you have the money, time, and know-how. Digital for everyone else. Analog will forever produce music that holds a higher level of authenticity, simply because it is a more delicate and involved process of music-making, whereas digital production is faster, less expensive, and WAY more accessible to the masses.
