I began piano lessons at the age of 11, and quickly thereafter discovered the music of Scott Joplin and Joseph Lamb. I became obsessed with their music, and by the age of 14, I placed first in a state-wide youth ragtime piano competition in California. Since then, I have performed at festivals and concerts around the US and even in Europe and South America. 

My main musical influences stem from Scott Joplin, Fats Waller, Dick Wellstood, James P. Johnson, Joseph Lamb, and Max Morath. In 2016, I recorded a solo piano album entitled "Snowy Morning Blues" on a beautiful concert Steinway D located at the University of Pittsburgh. This album is available on iTunes and Spotify, and you can even purchase a physical copy of it from Rivermont Records.
