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 live music returned with me included in the mix.

--Future Goals:  The usual...Earn induction to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and find the ultimate cannoli.
