“The process of creating music is incredibly rewarding” he says, adding that “writing and performing music allows me to capture and re-present moods and emotions. It’s a very spiritual yet disciplined process that is especially good for the heart and mind.  That’s why I enjoy teaching music too and always encourage people, especially young children, to learn a musical instrument.  The benefits are immeasurable and it’s never too late to learn!”
