Video game music began it all for me. For many years, I have greatly invested in pursuing music as a career. I began composing when I was about 11 years old, and since then have been expanding my musical knowledge, experience, and tastes. Though my genre training has primarily consisted of orchestral writing, I am multi-versed in several genres of music making including jazz, rock/pop, experimental, electronics, R+B/soul, and many others. As I mentioned above, one of my biggest influences is video games. I started off my musical journey with inspirations from composers such as Yasunori Mitsuda (first RPG ever was Chrono Trigger), Nobuo Uematsu, Koji Kondo, Yoko Shimomura, Hitoshi Sakimoto, Masashi Hamauzu, and many others in the video game world. It was as obvious then as it is now for me, that I wanted to compose music for the entertainment industry (i.e. film, tv, video games), and I am ready and available to write music for any project seeking a composer of original game music.
