Top Shelf

Having spent my career as an illustrator, I have always sidelined as a student of music. I play both guitar and piano, and my discovery of the extraordinary capabilities of DAW software opened up a natural path for me into composition. My inspiration has come from a diverse array of great performers ranging from Verdi to the Zombies, the Beatles, Henry Mancini, and Mark Knopfler, among many, many others. The wealth of musical influences I’ve encountered has fueled my creativity, allowing me to blend visual artistry with melodic expression. Growing up in such a vibrant musical era has been a tremendous gift, shaping my artistic identity and pushing me to explore the limitless possibilities of sound.

Headphone listening is a plus.
