INTRODUCTION
MyPixo is my personal studio where I get to work with many talented musicians and industry creatives. I also compose music for commercial release and write for both film and TV.

PRODUCER/ENGINEER

SONGWRITER/MUSICIAN
My music has been featured in film and TV (A&E, Discovery, History Channel, MTV, NatGeo, NBC), and I also compose original soundtracks for various film projects.

BACKGROUND
My creative path began as a musically inclined poet, including extensive experience with music theory from an early age. Proficient with multiple instruments—the foundation of my songwriting is done with a guitar and piano.

As a songwriter/producer I've had the opportunity to embrace multiple genres (pop, rock, metal, singer-songwriter, country, hip hop, industrial, soundscapes). This has given me the ability to take genres into new directions, or create unique mixed-genre compositions. Always aware of the hook, and the catchy melody that grabs a listeners ears, I continue to finds new ways to inspire emotional reactions with music.

More than 25 years’ experience as a musician/songwriter, 20 years as a recording engineer, and 14 years as a music producer.
