Artist Statement
"As a film composer and orchestrator, my work is rooted in the philosophy that music should be an immersive, cinematic journey. Whether scoring for a feature film like
Art Work or reimagining the American songbook through The Modern Diamond, my goal is to blend traditional symphonic architecture with 21st-century high-fidelity technology. I view the stage as a soundstage, where precision, emotion, and cinematic 'Wall of Sound' textures bring a director’s—or a songwriter’s—vision to life."
