I have been playing the piano since I was three years old. After 53 years I still play and record every day, releasing 26 albums, and working with different artists on collaborations and solo projects. Music is my life. As a ballet class accompanist for over twenty-eight years at schools across southern Ontario, I learned to create music live in the moment to choreography and dancers, matching mood, timing, tempo, and creating an atmosphere of inspiration. Since 2020, I have performed 1,940+ livestream concerts on Facebook (many of these performances are available on my YouTube channel) and I continue to perform these livestreams 7 nights a week from my personal Facebook profile, 10-11:30 pm (EDT). The majority of the 16 albums I produced in the last 3 years are pieces taken directly from the concerts, with some albums being solo piano and others orchestrated from the original pieces that arrived as the base of the track. In 2023 I collaborated with Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) based in Australia, composing over 200 pieces for their four levels of training; this project will reach 40 countries and fuses my love for music with dance.
