Currently looking for like-minded musicians to collaborate with. Also looking for job opportunities, especially non-US, running the gamut from teaching to accompaniment to playing in a piano bar....

about me: born in 1985. I've been playing piano since I was 5 and violin since 6. I've also spent some time learning the organ and sitar, among a few other instruments. I also write songs, and although I was classically trained, I like to incorporate all the elements of classical, ragtime/stride, jazz, etc into my own music. Over the last 7 years I've made about a couple dozen albums, ranging from solo piano to instrumental, sometimes with vocals. I use the free DAW's Ardour and Audacity (and GNU/Linux) to record all of my music (though I use Pro Tools/Reason occasionally).

Hometown: California
Country: United States
