Music Experience

Before learning instruments, I sang in school and church choirs, so I like to say that voice has always been and still remains my primary instrument. Currently I sing tenor with PT Songlines. In college, I began to dabble on the piano, inspired by the vinyl record collection of classical music that I inherited from my grandmother who passed away at that time. She was a master painter and she would listen to those albums while she worked. To this day I continue to study music theory and I love to improvise and compose music on the piano. I also play the silver flute. I have recorded three albums since 2015. They are available at: www.lovetree.bandcamp.com
