My early music education was in violin, singing boy soprano, and playing African drums. In high school — I sang in choirs, played in orchestra, and student ensembles. I studied at The New England Conservatory, Boston (U.S.A) — singing bass/b​aritone in choral concerts and in solo recitals, as well as playing violin in a Klezmer band and studying music history, theory, and humanities. I later studied a Masters Degree in Music at Trinity College of Music, London.

Early performances included: Centre l’ Orford Festival, Quebec; The Weberhof, Austria; Jordan Hall, Boston; Mount Holyoke College; and the Royal Naval College Greenwich. Singin​g/acti​ng roles included Beaupertuis in Nino Rota’s 'Il Cappello di Paglia di Firenze'​ at the Cochrane Theatre, London; Clifford Bradshaw in 'Cabaret'​ at The Greenwich Theatre (Trinity College of Music); and Bartolo in 'Le Nozze di Figaro'​ for Guildford Opera.

More recent performances as a singer and instru​mental​ist (violin, piano & guitar) include: Glen Miller Bar, Jazz After Dark, and Shanghai Blues, London. I sang and played piano with the Roots/Rhythm n’ Blues outfit 'The Retro Collective'​ — with a regular residency at The North Star, London and gigs including Peggy Sues, Leigh-on-Sea (Essex U.K.) as well as at other private functions.

Compositions include settings of British & American poets for SATB single-voice choir and the music to accompany the theatre production 'I Am Not Antigone'​, which played at the Amsterdam, Brighton, and Prague Fringe Festivals as well as at national theatres in Serbia and at RADA, London 2014/2015.
