Performing
I perform as often as I can all around LA and Orange Counties. Most often, I am playing solo piano and singing, but I also perform with my quartet regularly.
Some of my favorite local collaborators are Mike Scott, Shane Savala, Bruce Lett, Lyman Medieros, Steve Cotter, Kendall Kay, and I could go on and on.
I love to play and you can always find my gig dates on the “GIGS” tab of this site.
The Warmth Of The Sun (with Grant Heineman)
I hope you enjoy my arrangement of one of my very favorite Beach Boys songs. You might remember Grant from the video I did about Berklee. He’s a great talent!
Where'd The Bass Player Go?
Playing piano presents us with all kinds of opportunities and challenges. One of them is pretending that we are playing with people when there ARE NO PEOPLE. This is what it sounds like to playas if there IS a bass player with you, when in fact, there is not. I put the metronome at 160 and went for it. If you'd like to play bass/drums along with me, send your videos to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

"Purely Imagining" For 24:00
I have always loved “Pure Imagination” since I was a kid. I decided to improvise over its changes for 24 minutes today (over a backing track from the ireal app) and wanted you to share it with you. My mindset was pretty much, just to try and have the melody in the back of my mind the whole time and to play what I heard over the top of it, without thinking too much about anything else except what sounds true and beautiful to me in the moment.

You Only Live Twice (With The MarForPac Marine Band)
Bassist GySrgt Will Pierce (who I’ve performed with in the past) wrote to me and asked if I would collaborate with members of the Marine band who are stationed out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This is his arrangement of “You Only Live Twice” from the James Bond movie by the same name. Thanks to the band for asking me to be a part of the project. It was really fun. Featuring Gunnery Sergeant Will Pierce Sergeant Jonathan Soeung Lance Corporal Chris Nuñez
