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

I began after many years to finally appreciate the music of Kate Bush as significantly advanced and unique, and this has led me on a quest to develop a style/styles that is/are unique, but still building on what has already been. Similarly, John McLaughlin is high on my list of inspirations. Others include Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull and Mahalia Jackson. At the end of it all, it's very much about American popular, jazz, progressive, and moderately avant-garde styles.
