CD Baby Absolute Beginner

I am a songwriter, musician, lyricist, and recording engineer, and I have over 700 original songs copyrighted with The Copyright Office of Washington D.C., and I am always writing more. I fuse electronic sounds with real instrumentation to create a unique blend of genres and cross-over styles in my songs. I compose every style of music, studied classical music and jazz at UCLA, and studied electronic music at UCSC. I also compose multilayered upbeat electronica for both dance and listening pleasure, and am seeking more streaming exposure and opportunities on all and any platforms via collaborations with playlist curators. Currently, I am an artist using CD Baby as my digital music distribution aggregator, and I am streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, You Tube Music, Napster, iTunes, Amazon Music, etc... 

I have been writing songs on the piano, synthesizer, and in DAW based recording environments for over thirty years, and draw inspiration from such artists as: Lady Gaga, Maroon Five, Epica, Stevie Wonder, Usher, Alicia Keys, Sting, Steely Dan, Peter Gabriel, Emerson Lake and Palmer, King Crimson, Van Halen,The Beatles, Kate Bush, Rush, Jason Mraz, Lilly Allen, Dream Theater, Genesis, Squeeze, Yes, The Talking Heads, The Cars, David Guetta and other EDM artists, among many others.

Additionally, I've performed at Carnegie Hall as Principal Trumpet Soloist, toured Europe in a Symphony, played at Vatican City, was the featured trumpet soloist at The 1982 Reno Jazz Festival, compose musical theater professionally, and compose songs for up-and-coming artists, as well as established artists. Currently, I also perform at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium each year as Principal Trumpet Soloist in The Watsonville Symphony.
