- When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?
I grew up the son of a Director and music director; and when I was four, my parents put me in their production of the Music Man as a little drummer boy. I’ve been hooked ever since!
- When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?
I have always loved to write songs on the piano and try to replicate Billy Joel’s music, but after connecting with Sondheim’s music during the pandemic, I knew that I wanted to write for the theater.
- How do you describe your style/work?
My music is representative of the academic I am as an artist. I think my work possesses the dramaturgical attention of the golden age with contemporary music stylings.
- What is most rewarding to you about writing music?
I would definitely say hearing someone else sing your music. There is a sort of connection created when someone else has an understanding of the work you created and is able to bring it to life.
