Back in 1975 I was classically trained on the piano, and in 1978 passed the highest music grade at the Royal School of Music in London, and since then I have been playing in local bands in the UK for about 5 years, and during that time, I taught myself various forms of guitar from acoustic through electric to pedal steel, violin, and tenor sax.

I started composing around 1994 when I was still living in the UK, moved to the USA in 2001, and since then continued composing,

Due to arthritis setting in my hands I have to do things very slowly when playing instruments.
