Playing piano since I was four and studied in a musical school for ten years. Though, I always felt that playing by notes and singing in a choir is not enough to become a musician. I needed to be able to play anything I want by ear so, by starting improvising, I've found my own style of playing. When I teach children to play piano or sing, I offer them improvisation right from the beginning. I wish I was taught that way, since until my mid-30s I had hard times to relax and believe in my ability to create my own music. Twelve years ago my husband (@arty-sandler) finally convinced me to record some of my improvisations and we opened this account on SoundCloud - it happened in July, 2012.

You won't find a single particular genre on my cloud: my musical tastes are rather eclectic. Jazz and soft rock are my favorites but I also play blues, classical, folk, middle-eastern, New Age, ambient and others. Piano and vocal are my main instruments but together with my husband we also experiment a lot with different arrangements and orchestrations. 

When we started uploading our music to SoundCloud back in 2012, it was first shy attempts to record my improvisations straight from a keyboard. Many things have evolved since then. Over the years we've grown into a professional recording and composing studio, with a conservatory grand piano in an acoustically treated room and a bunch of microphones and other recording equipment. We scored a few documentaries, short films and animations. This year my orchestral and piano solo works were performed by Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for Bryan Arias’s ballet show based on “The Little Prince” story. We've published three books with my original scores for solo piano and released twenty original full-length albums (solo piano, multi-instrumental and original songs in various genres) and numerous singles that have been streamed over 70 million times across multiple platforms.

I am glad you stepped by into my musical world and appreciate your comments and following me.

Luke Freeman "Freemondo" is a pianist, teacher and composer based Staffordshire UK. 

Arriving at the piano from a keyboard background in high school, his unique playing style fuses classical (in the broad sense) with a modern contemporary sound. Luke made his presence known on SoundCloud from 2011 regularly uploading improvisations and his own compositions. Joining The Piano Cloud community in early 2012 he helped support the group with moderation, taking part in the challenges and yearly meet ups. In the winter of 2013 Luke achieved his ABRSM grade 8 in piano and continues to study towards his DipABRSM qualification. 

Since August 2013 Luke has also been an active member of BABS (British Association of Barbershop Singers) and participates regularly in performances, singing the baritone part in the West Midlands based chorus - Anvil Chorus. Other roles within the club include, assistant section leader, proof reading new chorus songs and couriering quartets/choruses for LABS (Ladies Association of Barbershop Singers). 

Recently Luke's piano and barbershop ventures have crossed paths at events within the barbershop community, taking opportunities to perform his solo piano repertoire along side the chorus.
