Artist Mission
I write memorable, accessible melodies that appeal to a broad portion of the public. My orchestral works tend to sound like movie themes. I am more a songwriter/composer than performer, and feel that recording artsts seeking new material would find many of my pieces a success for them. I believe my music should speak for itself, and that my descriptions and self promotion should be limited to what I have created, and what I am creating and let those who are interested hear and decide for themselves their level of interest.
Music Influences
David Foster, John Williams, Stephen Schwartz ("The Wiz", "Prince of Egypt"), Leonard Bernstein. Evanessence, Toto, The Beatles, Elton John, Trans Siberian Orchestra, Yanni, Most major classical composers (Bach, Handel, Mozart, Hayden, Beethoven, Lizst, Schuber, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel, Debussy, etc.)
