Seeking fellow collaborators, whether composer/arrangers, technician/producers, vocalists, instrumentalists, and other creative sorts to present and promote a newer genre of music. I compose in both sacred and secular forms and am eager to collaborate and promote exceptional music with others, regardless of ideology.

Musical Influences & Inspiration

After many years of developing my interests in Pop, Rock, and Fusion, my ability to appreciate other forms, including Straight Modern Jazz, the styles of Kate Bush, and others, has led me to a moderately more avantgarde form of expression, along with the more conventional forms as well. As a person of faith, sacred forms of music are also within the sphere of what I care to present. Specific artists of inspiration include John McLaughlin, Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull, and Mahalia Jackson. Notwithstanding my interest in expression in progressive forms, I am also vastly interested in the singer/songwriter approach of the 70s, and presentation wise, I can be very passionate about groups like Three Dog Night.
