ABOUT
What do you love about music?
Music is the international language. It expresses emotion without words and tells a story that only the listener knows.
Who is your favorite artist?
There are many classical guitarists who I admire: John Williams, David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, Norio Sato, Denis Azabagic, Rovshan Mamedkuliev, Nemanja Ostojic are some favorites.
What are your top 5 desert island albums?
If I had only five albums to listen to over an over, I would hate my choices after a while. I’d rather just enjoy the music in my head from so many years of listening to music.
Do you play in a band or currently perform?
I do not play in a band, but I do occasionally play chamber music with other musicians. I am an active performer. My website contains upcoming performance dates.
