PLAYA WIT A BROKEN HEART (PROD. DEOXYS)

I love classical music and jazz. I started as a jazz pianist in my earlier years and my first true love in music - if not the Beatles that was in the air from my parents - will always be the jazz I truly got attracted to by my own ear. I've been playing since I was 7 but my longtime piano teacher, Ron Drotos, introduced me to jazz at 12 in the form of a mixtape of Bud Powell from 1949 and it peaked my interest in jazz in my teenage years. People like Bud Powell, Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Joe Pass..... - very much summed up my soundscape in middle and high school. A lot of my influence to my sound as a performer sources from what I learned under Ron to this day.
Regarding composition, though I first began writing music at 16 in High School, most of my compositions are from 2017 onward.
In 2023 I received a Certificate in Core Musical Studies at The Juilliard School in their Extension Division. I had the opportunity to study with such people as Dr. Daniel Felsenfeld, Dr. Dalit Warshaw, Dr. Ruka Shironishi, Dr. Patrick Kreeger and Dr. Greg Knowles, among others.
I am a Westchester-based pianist/composer and teacher who loves jazz and classical music. Thank you for enjoying my music! :3
