I'm a genre-blending concert pianist, vocalist, recording artist, and music director whose roots run deep in jazz, classical, and folk traditions. In the wedding scene, I have created and performed customized ceremony music for two decades. I’m passionate about bringing magic to a couple’s wedding day — whether it’s a grand cathedral wedding, an intimate micro wedding in your home, or spontaneous elopement on a mountaintop. From Classical to Celtic, Pirates of the Caribbean to Lord of the Rings, 2000s punk to 1960s country, I create and perform cinematic piano soundtracks tailored uniquely to each couple — dreamy, emotional, and full of personality. Together, we’ll talk through your favorite music, love songs, meaningful memories, and dream mashups to craft a soundtrack that feels deeply personal and completely you. Top favorite mashups have been Pachelbel's Cannon in D with Romantic Flight from How to Train Your Dragon, and Handel mixed with Blink182 :) Visit my website to learn more.
