Available to hire
I’ve been a professional keyboard player for decades. I earned a Master of Music Degree (with Distinction) from Indiana University in Bloomington, IN and have since worked in a variety of musical genres. I was an exclusive songwriter with Integrity Music for years. Many of these songs were featured on their recordings and are sung around the world in churches. I am a keyboard clinician for Yamaha Music and regularly create video and written content for them. I compose original music for solo piano and continue writing songs. I have created scores for videos, including a 30-minute documentary. I have been a professional music copyist and transcriptionist for years, creating piano/vocal songbooks and hundreds of lead sheets and charts.
