25+ Years
Growing up in the Los Angeles area I started playing piano at age 8, guitar at age 11 and was working professionally as a musician by age thirteen in local rock and acoustic acts. As a teenager I played in local college big bands, studied classical guitar at California Institute of the Arts and was invited to study at UC Santa Barbara to develop my other musical love, composing. Throughout my young adult life I studied classical and studio guitar, piano and composition at California State University Northridge and Javanese and Balinese Gamelan music at UCLA and Cal Arts. During this time I worked extensively as a performer, session musician, musical director, composer and producer. Finally having moved to the Seattle area I spend my time performing live and in the studio, teaching all styles of guitar, piano, bass, ukulele and composition, and composing production music for World Market Publishing and other companies.
