My entire life has been a pursuit of musical endeavors. This is how I have ended up where I am today: A young New York based keyboardist and musician. I have plenty of experience playing jazz piano and organ gigs, wedding receptions, ceremonies, scoring for both dance and film, as well as singing and performing original music. I have made a living as a teacher and performer in the New York/New Jersey area.
