Music has been a lifelong pursuit for me. I write melancholic, dramatic piano pieces that aim to move the listener and create a genuine sense of connection. I am seeking opportunities to compose for film—especially drama—and to bring this music to audiences through live performance.

About Moonrise
The full moon has always filled me with wonder and inspired me to create. In Moonrise, I explore the spiritual connection I feel as it rises, turning its beauty and energy into music. At the piano, that sense of awe becomes movement, emotion, and sound.

About The Journey Begins
My earliest connection to the piano came before I had ever played one. One night, my mother heard me talking in my sleep about a pianist performing, a memory that stayed with me as my passion for music grew. It later inspired the title of my debut live album, The Journey Begins, recorded, mixed, and mastered at the Queen Elizabeth Park Community & Cultural Centre in Oakville, Ontario.
