About
Bio
I am a composer and keyboardist from Colorado. I have a B.A. in music composition from Adams State University and a M.M. in Film Scoring from Berklee College of Music. My music influences are bands such as Dream Theater, Dragonforce, and Ayreon, as well as composers such as John Powell, Benjamin Wallfisch, and James Newton Howard.
In college, I studied piano performance before switching to music composition. I had the opportunity to write music for a variety of ensembles during my studies as well as write, record, mix, and master my first solo rock album, “The Euphoric Mind,” for my senior project. In 2019, I released my second solo rock album, “Gift of Life.” In 2024, I re-recorded the music from my first album and released “The Euphoric Mind (Re-Recorded)." These solo albums serve as a showcase of versatility in music composition and keyboard performance.
In 2017, I traveled to New York to attend keyboardist Jordan Rudess's event, Keyfest. I had the opportunity to be coached in keyboard performance by renowned keyboardists such as Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), Tom Brislin (Kansas, Yes), and Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Steven Wilson).
