Music producer and composer with 10+ years of experience creating original music for commercial sync, documentary projects, and voice/vocal production. Skilled in recording, arranging, and mixing with a musician’s ear and a strong foundation in music theory. I also teach music privately—piano, theory, ear training, and composition—drawing on a lifetime of performance across multiple instruments, from piano and guitar to brass and percussion. My work blends creative composition with clean, platform-ready audio engineering for today’s releases.
