Introduction: In the last 18years, I composed and produced themes to some of Konami's most successful and award-winning AAA game titles. I worked on projects such as Silent Hill, the renowned Metal Gear Solid and the sequels Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater, and Guns of the Patriots, and has played a fundamental role in shaping the tone of dramatic onscreen events, which elevated the cinematic experience for gamers worldwide.
I collaborated and hired Hollywood film composer Harry Gregson-Williams at the Media Ventures studio in Venice Beach California to work with me on the Konami's biggest selling AAA video game called "Metal Gear Solid".
I also worked on music to the 2007 feature-length film Broken English and for Hans Zimmer's music library company called extreme. This movie was produced by Nick Cassavetes' daughter, Zoe Cassavetes. It was her first feature film.
I have worked with top studio musicians and orchestra in LA and NY. I worked with Jeff Lorber, Tony Haynes, Gerald Albright, Peter Erskine, Carl Anderson, Marcus Miller, Robert Irving lll, Michael White, Phil Upchurch, Kevin Eubanks and Hubert Laws, etc.
I successfully combine my abilities as a performer, composer, and producer, into a unique package.
