For nearly 30 years, I've been composing songs and incidental music professionally, primarily for live theatre and cabaret productions. However, I've also written numerous jingles and custom songs for special events. Typically I will write the lyrics as well, but I have also worked with many other lyricists (e.g. Phil Shallat, Claire Zaslove, Sid Fleischman and Mark Anders), and very much enjoying setting others' words to music. Fluent in several musical styles, including swing, standards, vaudeville, rock, pop, country and samba, I also bring my own unique musical voice to musical dramas and custom commissions.
