Music is the core of my essence and has been my life path for as long as I can remember. Since starting classical lessons on piano at the age of 5, it has been my constant companion. Around the age of ten, I discovered the love of collaboratively making music with my friends and developed a deep interest in rock music. This expanded into a lifelong love of jazz within a couple years. Being around so much music soon inspired me to start writing my own and performing it with a variety of my projects. Although I excel at many different aspects of music, I primarily identify as a composer of many genres. Throughout my teenage years, I composed and notated multiple classical chamber works a year as part of the one-of-a-kind Young Composers Project put on by Music In The Mountains. I oversaw the rehearsal and performance of all these pieces, and eventually became a teachers aide in the program and mentor to the younger composers. Around the age of fourteen, I became very interested in making electronic compositions on the computer. This grew into a tremendous interest in audio production and sound synthesis, and the creation of literally hundreds of electronic works. I am currently working on the soundtracks for multiple upcoming documentaries, as well as lullaby soundscape album meant for babies.
Some of my projects include
Kravyn (producer/engineer/multi-instrumentalist) - Electronic art rock/pop duet with my wife
Anomie (composer/producer/multi-instrumentalist) - Collaborative project with legendary filmmaker Ken Adams
WindowPainter (keyboards/drums) - Singer-songwriter project that touches upon alternative rock, folk, pop, bluegrass, reggae, and more
The Sun Waves (keyboards - first incarnation, drums - second incarnation) - Surf rock band
Toy Traps (drums) - Ska punk band
The Source radio show on KVMRX - One of a kind radio program with lots of in-studio performances and local music
Earthship Productions (keyboards/drums) - Resident instrumentalist at studio built by legendary luthier Ken Bebensee
I make individual lesson plans for every student based on their interests. I believe the best way to learn is through hands-on projects. I love helping my students develop true passion for music through real projects they are proud of. I am an expert at piano and drums who is equally comfortable in jazz, rock, classical, electronic, and world styles. I also like to play and teach guitar, bass, and vocals. For those interested, I love teaching composition of all styles, audio engineering, sound synthesis, music theory, or any combination of the above.
I currently teach in-person lessons with the organizations B.O.C.O. and Lessons In Your Home and am making the shift to online work.
