music studio
I've been making music for over three decades,
and still counting.
​
Throughout the years, I've had opportunities to teach, perform, tour, and compose - and have collaborated with a ton of kick-ass musicians along the way.
​
It's not my full-time gig anymore, but I still make time for the occasional orchestra performance, chamber music concert, or studio recording session.
