Why he began playing the piano:
I began playing in 1st grade when a salesman for a music store came to my school to get people to sign up for music lessons. No one in my family is musical so it is a mystery where my talent comes from.
What he is doing musically right now:
Right now I have a trio, 88 Fabulous Keys
We just made a Christmas album and are now working on our first "real" album. I also play at restraunts and coffee shops. I have been featured on the radio program "Jazz in New England" and gotten extensive play on 90.5 WICN (an NPR station) .
What he plans on doing in the future:
I plan on attending Berklee College of Music in the fall. I have not decided what I will major in, I am mostly looking forward to meeting new people from all over the world and getting to play all different types of music. I hope to be a performer who brings jazz to those who wouldnt hear it otherwise.
