Introduction: I have been playing piano since classical lessons at 5 years old and playing trumpet at 10 years old while accompanying my dad to play in his weekly music gigs at weddings and bars. Since then, I have been playing professionally in rock bands, wedding ceremonies and receptions, and as a solo musician at various venues.
I am often asked to play at parties for friends and family that own amazing acoustic grand or upright pianos. These pianos are often seldom played due to an empty nest or the kids decided music lessons were not for them.
I enjoy playing music as both a hobby and part-time profession, growing up in a large musical family that continues a long tradition of passing music down from generation to generation. Music provides a unique window to the world, providing opportunities to experience American and global cultures while meeting people that will become life-long friends. I have played in Paris clubs, Tokyo hotels, and local venues of all kinds. It has been a spring-board to professional theater and bands.
