It is very easy for me to say that it's hard to go a single day in life without music. It doesn't really matter what kind of music it is, as long as it's exactly what I need at the moment.

I have had music around me and in me my entire life. I started piano lessons in second grade and was in band class from fifth grade to college. Even though music wasn't my ultimate major in college, the music building was my escape from the stresses of collegiate life. And even into today, I find myself sitting down to a piano or picking up an Irish whistle when the daily beat of life gets to be too much.

But music hasn't been just an outlet for stress. It's also one of the most creative avenues available to me. I have a knack for improvisation, and it's that skill that I use more than any other in music. My musical style gets a lot of inspiration from the music of George Winston (think Charlie Brown), film composers John Williams and Hans Zimmer, classical composer Frédéric Chopin, and the entire genre of Irish and Celtic music.

I have used this improvisational talent many many times in my life, but none as successfully as on the video sharing web site, YouTube. Back in the spring of 2006, I thought it would be a fun idea to make a video of me just sitting down to the piano keys and making up a song on the spot. Two years and 11 music videos later, I've had the privilege of broadcasting my music over 400,000 times. This is really where my creativity has exploded. Blending music with all the knowledge of built up in the areas of computer graphics, video and audio editing, and visual effects, I've been able to come up with some really fun videos that thousands of people all seem to enjoy. That has been such a great pleasure for me, and all that has segued into the release of my debut album. It had been a consistent request from the viewers over the years, and getting it finished was a great moment for me.

Music has been one of life's greatest inventions for me, and as long as there is creativity in my brain, the music will never stop flowing.
