There have been alot of new people on my socials lately, so I thought Iâd take the time introduce myself and tell you my story and how I started making music and piano content.
I love this instrument and I love sharing the joy of music with others đ
Where are you from, and how did you start following me? đšđ

After years of classical training, I quit pianoâŚ.
And my wife noticed it. She noticed my struggle for perfectionism, avoiding the piano.
And then she encouraged me to play⌠without expectations, without pressure, just for fun.
And slowly⌠I starting falling in love with this instrument, playing, improvising, learning, failing, and growing.
Anyone have a similar experience? This clip is from my tour stop in Los Angeles.

We wanted everything to be PERFECT for the show đ
So many lighting cues, so little time⌠and somehow the lighting design team always makes it amazing.
I love the process of programming and planning lighting moments for my one-man piano show, itâs such a blast!
Let me know if you want to see the show results of this song!

I quit piano after this happenedđ
My senior year of highschool, I was competing in my 10th year of classical piano competitions.
I was so nervous. I really wanted to make my teacher proud.
I start playing exactly how I practiced itâŚ
âŚand then my brain goes:
âwhat if we â¨jazz it up⨠a little?â
Mid-performance.
I just start improvising like Iâm the main character in a movie.
Once I realized what was happening, I froze.
I got a terrible score, and was devastated.
It felt like my whole âclassical piano identityâ was going up in flames.
It just felt like whenever the REAL me came through (the love to compose and improvise) it ruined everything.
Look I get it, I shouldâve gotten a bad score, I didnât play the piece correctly. But it felt like so much more than that.
So, after 12 years of classical training, I quit.
If youâve ever felt like you didnât fit the moldâŚ
maybe youâre not supposed to.
Maybe youâre supposed to change it.

They werenât ready for the beat drop đ
Iâve always loved classical AND hiphop, so I decided to mix things up for this composition, and combine the two.
Itâs different, but it kinda SLAPS right?
