Academically Certified
Despite my focus on the popular music industry, I am a classically trained composer and conductor. Having received my Bachelor’s from the University of Michigan and my Masters from the Longy School of Music of Bard College, I had plenty of time to compose a number of works. I even got the chance to conduct numerous ensembles from chamber groups to full orchestras. Below you will find a complete list of works along with some sample recordings.
