In
a nutshell...
I've been playing music professionally for almost thirty
years. Accordion lessons started at age six and I later
learned to play the piano, trumpet and vibes. In my early
teens I started singing and writing songs. Over the years
since then I've worked as a solo, with bands of my own and
in others' bands. I've played in cocktail lounges, "show
rooms", concert halls; at weddings, parties, festivals;
the usual things that musicians do. I've also written, produced
and performed original songs for radio commercials, Cable
TV shows and corporate trade presentations.
Some years ago, after moving to California
from the East coast, I stepped into the realm of studio
musician, playing accordion and keyboards on a number of
CD's for various artists, mostly independent.
In 2001 I was hired by Disney Entertainment
to perform in Japan at their newest theme park: Tokyo DisneySea.
I played there for sixteen months completing my work at
the park in late 2002. After finishing at DisneySea,
I continued to live in Japan and have been playing in and
around Tokyo as a pianist, vocalist and accordionist since
early 2003.
Some of the artists I've recorded and/or
played with:
