Piano in Wisconsin

Pro keys for Keith Urban, Steve Vai, Hunter Hayes, Dick Van Dyke, Madison Beer, Diane Warren and more. I’d love to work with you! I’m an award-winning keyboardist and professor at the USC Thornton School of Music. Enjoy major label quality on an indie budget. Always professional, friendly and patient with clients of all experience levels.

I'm here to elevate your music—whether with tasteful piano/keys, refined string arrangements, or full production. I always give my best to every project and would love to be a part of yours!

I aim to add emotion and creativity to your song, whether through keys parts, vocals, production and mixing. I can give it a distinct lift or add glue, depending on what your needs are. I love creating music and would love to be a part of your project!

Music is obviously your passion, but have you ever considered what your passion sounds like? How do you communicate the sound of emotion? I don't just produce music, I take the very emotion, and inscribe it in the track. Sad or lonely? My tracks ensure the remorse and respectful tone needed. Hyped up and happy? My tracks raise the roof!

It's one thing to be a talented musician; It's another thing to be a talented musician that knows their place in a band mix. I believe that intuition is what separates me from the other guy. Having played many instruments in a band, and leading a church music team every week, I know what part I play in making the music sound good.
