Recovering Musician

🎹 Piano

I’m a recovering artist picking back up the piano! I’m even confident enough now to share the least messy 1 minute vids of my practice here. I’d love to compose the score for an animated story!

🎵Songwriter

My fun fact in ice breaker sessions is that I’ve written a few songs for Etana, Romain Virgo, Andrew Tosh and was even featured on grammy nominated world music album Kingston Morning by New York's Dave Eggar. One song I co-wrote with Amber Rubarth ended up being used as the closing credits to a documentary.
