My Musical History (Abridged Version)
--Birth-3 Years: Giggled at squeaky toys a lot.
--Ages 3-14: Banged mercilessly and cluelessly on household piano.
--High School: "Played" keys for Funk/R & B band based in South Central LA. We were cute, but awful. Took piano lessons (good idea)...
--College thru Late 20s: Keyed for classic rock cover bands. Gigged in dive bars, banks and Romanian restaurants.
--After That for Awhile: Took lengthy hiatus to focus on "career."
--2008: Made triumphant return to music!
--2008 thru 2019: Performed regularly at multiple venues and events mainly in the LA South Bay area, mainly solo or in duo formats.
--Now: Spinal surgery and then a pandemic put the kibosh on gigs for awhile, so I worked on more original demos. Then the state reopened and now (until further notice) venues are back hosting live music. So I am performing again on a weekly basis.
--Future Goals: The usual...Earn induction to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and find the ultimate cannoli.
