ABOUT

I produce music. I am the CEO of PARMA Recordings in North Hampton NH USA and the President of the Zagreb Festival Orchestra in Zagreb HR. I compose, perform, and record music as a solo artist, with Dreadnaught, and others. From time to time I write a bit about making music, travel, the places I work, and the place where I live. I am proud to serve as Chair of the Board of Trustees of The Music Hall and as a member of the Advisory Board of the Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra, both based in Portsmouth NH. Big Angela Lansbury fan here.

“I love your version of ‘The Backward Swan.’ I listened to the tracks on your album and found them to be very creative and extremely good... I would describe your approach as music for the intellectual, with broad hints of classical and jazz as well as pop and rock. I loved being taken on a musical journey with surprises like you have in the songs as these tracks unfold." - Guitar legend Duane Eddy
