ABOUT
I have a jazz background with piano and classical training in violin. Played in jazz bands/combos in high school and college. Got to do a 9 month world tour w/ AF's Tops in Blue (.topsinblue) as keyboard 1 player. I was also invited back to play in the pit band during the competition that selects new members. I have a decent ear and mostly read off charts/can read music. I do have some limited recording studio experience. I played bass and sang for a band in the past and filled in as rhythm guitar when needed.
