I've been playing piano since the age of 5. My primary focus isn't fame or fortune, but simply the love of music. It doesn't matter to me whether I'm playing for 1 or 100,000 people, really. It matters that I'm playing artistically inclined, quality, fun music. In search of these qualities I've been knocking around various bands since high school, a few times finding that right mix of people where the musical chemistry is overwhelmingly groovy and improvisational music is the main course. This is the stuff I live for. My personal style is an eclectic blend of jazz, FUNK, soul, rock, and R&B...with a sprinkle of latin and reggae. I didn't really want to list Fusion...since Fusion, to me, means the fusing of two or more genres of music to produce something new. However many have said I do play the genre as defined by both me and others, so...there it is. I do enjoy and play a wide variety of musical styles. I've done cover bands and original project bands too numerous, onerous, and pretentious to name here. Styles are unfortunately boxes which I feel, as living artistic beings, we must strive to think outside of. Then again, Funk is it's own reward. | |
