Composer/songwriter

Musical History

Artist beginnings


I started playing the piano when I was 12. I went to a music school owned by Mr. Peter Katz, in Denver Colorado. I took music lessons there four hours a day. When I turned 18 I got a music scholarship at a small college in Iowa. I never finished, but I never gave up music either.

Songs and music


Through the years I have written a lot of music, mostly piano compositions. My first copyrighted works is entitled Starlight and Waves. It consists of a book full of my piano compositions. As time went on I started writing songs.
I have put a link to my songs page below
if you would like to listen to a few of them.

Time as a musician


After I left Iowa, I moved to Maryland. I responded to an ad in a D.C. underground circular and met a fellow songwriter and musician. His name was Chris. He and I started a band featuring our own original music. We got into a lot of arguments over who's songs the band would play. We worked it out and picked out the best songs from both of us, and we collaborated on new songs. We got to play in clubs and parties around the D.C. area. Then Chris had to move back to Portland, Maine where he was from. Then the band had broke up. I went to visit him in Maine one last time. We had fun. He and his girlfriend took me to Cape Elizabeth, and that weekend we went to some parties with all local musicians. Chris was the guitarist, and I the keyboardist. So we jammed the weekend out and that was the last time I've seen him.
