Elemental. Enigmatic. Cinematic. Visceral. Ancient. Modern. Refined. Raw. These are words I would use to describe my personal aesthetic and my music. I am passionate about storytelling through music, innovative approaches to composition and arranging, and using music as a vehicle for self-expression. I believe in an authentic voice, bridging the old and new, and bringing joy into everyday life. 

I compose and am inspired by everything from neo/romantic classical music (Phillip Glass, Max Richter, Chopin) to contemporary jazz (Snarky Puppy, Bill Laurance, Jon Batiste) to popular music (Sia, Florence and The Machine, Coldplay, Radiohead) and film scores (Hans Zimmer, Ennio Morricone, Trent Reznor.) Essentially, there is no terrain I am afraid to enter. I aspire to be a musical chameleon with a distinctive voice. 

For me, music is incomparable in its ability to express the magic of being alive. It is a privilege and a gift to be a musician, and especially an artist. We all bring different voices to an ever-evolving society. My hope is that my work brings solace to somber moments, celebrates victories big and small, elevates the soul, and inspires us to experience our limited time on this earth in a more profound way.
