I love to perform live, but I also love the studio; with so many possibilities, you never know what will happen. Until March, I ran a recording studio in Philly where I wrote and produced music. I've since moved to Chicago, and already feel new inspiration creeping in. In the 20 years that I have been recording, I've been so blessed to be able to work with so many talented people, all types of artists, and many styles of music, which has freed me to drive in many different musical and artisitic directions. Ambient. Electronic. Hip Hop. Rock. Funk. Nu Jazz. House. Progressive. Soul. Contemporary. Post Modern. Alternative. Drum & Bass... I LOVE MUSIC!

I have a large library of original, sample free music of all styles with high quality production. I work closely with producers, artists, and choreographers to understand their needs, and deliver what they want -- ON TIME! I'm also a member of ASCAP, both as a writer and publisher, so licensing is a breeze. Here are some of those tracks that I feel work well with visuals. I would love to be a part of your next production!

I'm also interested in forming a live collaborative writing group online. My only criteria for working on a project is that it has real feeling and emotion in the music. If you think you would be a good fit, send me a message. Looking forward to making some beautiful music together!
