My work carries the multi-generational torch that began in early classical tradition and exploded in the 20th-century, with the rise of multi-genre film music and the avant-garde. I’m a firm believer that music can be both sophisticated and accessible, and that the tools for high-quality composition should be available to all. After having worked as a songwriter writing music for Off-Broadway in NYC as well as a film composer in LA, I’m currently based in Orange County, where I’ve been expanding my network with artists across genres and industries, providing post-production work for musicians like Francis and the Lights, as well as having professional experience working in the film industry for composers such as Hans Zimmer, Henry Jackman, Max Aruj, and Alex Belcher. My goal is to provide exceptional quality in audio for a mass audience.

I hold a B.M. in Music Theory and Composition from New York University, where I was fortunate to be taught by artists such as Alan Menken, Alex Lacamoire, Julia Wolfe, Morton Subotnick, Caroline Shaw, Ted Hearne and Todd Kasow. I’ve additionally studied songwriting extensively and privately with Tony award-winner Joe Church and orchestration with Irwin Fisch. Finally, I have studied classical composition and orchestration with Michel Merlet at L’ecole normal de musique de paris, in addition to studying sound spatialization and MSP programming at IRCAM (Institut de recherché et coordination acoustique/musique) in Paris, France.
