I am a dedicated musician and audio engineer with a passion for piano performance and music production. Having studied at New York University, I have cultivated my skills in piano performance, pedagogy, and the business aspects of the music industry, helping me understand both the artistic and commercial sides of music. Collaborating with Grammy-winning engineers and setting up sessions for renowned artists has refined my technical expertise in recording, mixing, and mastering. Beyond performance, I am deeply involved in music education and supervision, co-founding a music education service and composing for film and TV. Passionate about sharing knowledge, I teach keyboard skills and private piano lessons at NYU while expanding my creative work in film soundtracks and music licensing. I bring a friendly, collaborative spirit and technical proficiency to every project I embrace.
