"I love expressing themes and emotions on the piano. Electronically, I feel as if I am painting with sound. I am a keyboard player by trade but I love playing bass and guitar and just about anything that makes a noise. I love creating sound that takes people on a journey and that people connect with emotionally."

"Palmerston North is a really easy place to start creative ventures due to lots of great affordable creative spaces and a supportive creative community. I found that, for me, I could cheaply set up everything I needed to chase my goals and dreams of being a full time composer and audio professional. It was the perfect space to build my dreams and launch into the future."
