I love combining my passion for music and technology. Here are some of my accomplishments:
I have nearly a decade of experience playing piano in churches (both Contemporary Christian Music and traditional hymns). I am a talented improviser, and I am capable of sight reading music and playing songs in different keys "on the fly".
In addition, I have played piano for several weddings. I can create my own music arrangements, for anything from solo piano to a full orchestra + choir.
I also have extensive experience playing in pit orchestras for musical theatre & ballet companies. Below you can find a list of select shows I have played for:
Beauty & The Beast (Keyboard 1)
Mean Girls (Keyboard 1)
9 to 5 (Keyboard 2)
RENT (Keyboard 2)
American Idiot (Keyboard)
The Little Mermaid (Keyboard 4)
The Nutcracker (Percussion)
Clue: On Stage (Keyboard)
The Wizard of Oz (Percussion)
Annie (Percussion)
Mamma Mia! (Keyboard 2)
Songs For A New World (Percussion)
Into The Woods (Percussion)
Companies I have played for include the Adelphi Orchestra, Livingston Theater Company, Rutgers Cabaret Theatre, and River Dell High School.
I am currently based in Northern New Jersey. If you would like to hire me, please contact me - we can work something out!
I enjoy programming synthesizers for live music performances. Previous rigs of mine have included a double-tiered keyboard setup with drumpads and five footswitch controllers.
For musical theatre applications, I use Steinberg VST Live to program keyboard patch changes. Although Apple Mainstage remains the industry standard since VST Live is a relatively new piece of software, VST Live has the advantage of being cross-platform. In other words, it works on Windows in addition to macOS. For shows that call for 500+ different synthesizer sounds, this makes switching between presets much easier.
I have programmed the following shows myself using VST Live:
9 to 5 (Keys 1 & 2)
RENT (Keys 2)
American Idiot (Keys)
If you would like to buy my programming for those shows, or would like custom programming for a show of your choice, please contact me - we can work something out!
I am currently in the process of writing, recording, and producing my own full-length album titled "The Beginning".
