Want to get your music ready for publication, performance, or production? I'm here to help! Services I do: -Music transcription: I turn your audio recording into music notation or MIDI -Formatting: I optimize your music score for print - including part design, proofreading/cross-checking, etc. -Arranging: I rebuild your music for a different source - rewriting an orchestral piece for piano solo, rewriting a pop song for string quartet, or adding harmonies to an existing melody, for example -MIDI programming: Authentic MIDI files for piano parts, drum parts, synth parts, etc. that you can put right in your productions. Complete with velocities, pitch bends, mod wheel automation, etc. where practical. -Synthesia tutorials: You've seen those cool videos where the notes fly down to the keyboard? I can make those. -Editing: not confident you've composed everything the best way? I can make subtle tweaks to bring out your creative voice in the most authentic manner...or simply just proofread it for accuracy. -Production: In case all those little bits are not of use to you...I can put it all together in a single mixdown. Deliverables include, but are not limited to: -Lead sheets & songbooks -Piano solo books -Piano/vocal scores -Drum set parts -Jazz solo transcriptions -Musical theatre scores (this one's a particular passion) -Full set of score and parts for ensemble: orchestra, big band, pit band, etc. -Audio demonstrations (mp3/wav) -MIDI files -Syncing with video (score follow-along videos, for example) -Source files: Finale, Sibelius, MuseScore, Logic, Garageband, iMovie, Final Cut Pro I am a professional performing and teaching piano player, and I also play a little guitar/bass on the side. I was a drummer in a past life. I spend plenty of time in pop music, musical theatre, jazz, orchestral music...anything and everything.

I’m a classically and contemporary trained composer based in Los Angeles, working across games, film, and concert music. I scored Live by the Sword Tactics (2022), released on Xbox, Nintendo, and Steam. I’ve been writing for film for 6 years. The feature film, Drip Like Coffee (2024), recorded live string orchestra with Budapest Scoring and screened at ABFF, BFI London, and NewFest. My music has premiered at Carnegie Hall and international festivals from Uganda to Palm Beach. I’ve had a number of films win Audience Awards at festivals such as, the CFC, 48/72HRFF, and the Kalmthout film festival(Belgium). I’ve worked under Emmy-winning composer Christopher Lennertz (The Boys, Back in Action), gaining experience across major studio productions. My scoring style blends orchestral depth with emotional clarity—crafted to support story, world, and character. I look forward to working with you.
