I'm a voting member of the Grammy's and Latin Grammy's and love the 'business' side of music, and I'm happy to pass along anything that I've learned so far.

I have a degree in Classical Guitar Performance as well as 30+ years of playing Hard Rock/Heavy Metal, among many other styles. I've been playing Spanish/Latin/World Jazz and have received many awards, press, and airplay. I have also played and recorded worldwide symphonies, orchestras, and philharmonics with my original music.

I love the art of songwriting and can break down (form & analysis) any song. My specialty is theory and could give deep insight on your music.

I've recorded four CD's featuring these incredible musicians: Guitarists - Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme, Rihanna), Marty Friedman (Megadeth, solo artist), Strunz & Farah, Larry Carlton; Strings - Romanian National Symphony Orchestra; Violinist - Charlie Bisharat (Michael Bublé, Elton John, Lady Gaga); Drums - Walfredo Reyes Jr (Santana, Steve Winwood, Chicago, Frank Gambale); Bass - Bob Parr (Cher, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Barry White); Percussionists - Rafael Padilla (Miami Sound Machine, Shakira, Gloria Estefan) and Efren Guzman (Alejandro Fernandez, Armando Manzanero, Andrea Bocelli). Mastered by Chris Bellman (Van Halen, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson)

I am currently endorsed by Godin Guitars, Radial Engineering, Analysis Plus Cables, Morley Pedals, V-Picks, Neunaber Audio Effects, Voodoo Lab, BBF PedalBoards, Primacoustic, Mission Engineering, QiJack and DLS Effects. I have recently become a brand ambassador to the all-natural energy shot MTE, which includes appearing in commercials and licensing my music.

I am a Seattle-based music composer for video games, a piano teacher, and a saxophone performer for numerous bands and local DJs. I have a critical ear and a strong motivation to see other musicians succeed in expressing the best versions of their work. I'm detail-oriented, which sometimes leads to the issue of perfectionism. However, in the realm of constructive criticism, I believe my conscientious ear is quite useful. 

I obtained my Bachelor of Music degree in Music Composition-Theory from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as well as my Master of Music degree in Music Composition for Film from the Seattle Film Institute. Alongside my many years as a freelance composer, performer, and teacher, my schooling gives credence to my ability to explain melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, and formal concepts with the proper terminology. I can communicate these ideas to help refine any musical product, both compositionally as well as in the production stage.

Hello! I am a classically trained pianist, currently pursuing a doctorate at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music. While my priority (and first love!) is music, I've also spent a lot of my time in academia dedicated to enhancing my teaching and performance with related industries. As such, I also hold a BA in psychology and minor concentrations in business, entrepreneurship, music education, and arts leadership.

About performance: I made my orchestral debut with the Saint Petersburg State Symphony in Russia at the age of nine (I know, I was that kid) and have gone on to perform with many orchestras across the US, including the Louisville Symphony and the Chicago Ars Viva Symphony. My awards include first place at the Cincinnati World Piano Competition, grand prize at the Delta Symphony Orchestra Young Artist Competition, and the Joseph Shelhardt Award at the Hellam Young Artist Competition. As a soloist, I have played at Lincoln Center, the Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace, and Carnegie Hall. All this is a very long-winded way of saying: I've been doing this for a very long time, and I hope to have insightful things to say if you have questions about artistry, technique, learning process, memorization, or anything else related to the piano.

About all the things outside performance: I've made it my mission to broaden access to music-- the classical world can be very narrow but there's no doubt that the training and knowledge that it has can benefit any musician in any genre. Some organizations that I have worked with in service of this goal include National Public Radio's "From the Top," the San Francisco Opera Education Department, and the Pasadena Symphony & Pops. I'm grateful for stepping into the world of business, nonprofits, and entrepreneurship and the comprehensive view it's given me on what's expected and needed of musicians today. If you've ever wondered what musicians can do to actually monetize their careers, how to use social media to further your artistic brand, or even what options there are out there for career (and what you need to prepare in order to get there!), I would love to offer support.
