Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I started learning the piano, all we had available to us was a 55-key keyboard that ran on battery power. Every night before my lesson, my dad would have to charge the batteries so that the thing could make through the lesson!
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bonnie Raitt, The Best of Bonnie Raitt Brad Mehldau, Chris Thile, Chris Thile & Brad Mehldau Emanuel Ax, Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Mendelssohn: Piano Trios, Op. 49 & Op. 66 I am drawn to great music performed expertly to create a hint of magic. There's also this element of secret to the love of a great album, like I'm cheating on my own repertoire to enjoy it. Don't let Beethoven know I listen to Bonnie, you know?
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I performed with an orchestra in Virginia in 2023 where real magic happened on stage: there was a palpable synergy between the musicians, the conductor, me, and the music. The audience felt it, too, and it elevated the experience immensely.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? My bucket list is so long, I need to live forever. I would like to perform all of the Rachmaninoff and Beethoven piano concertos with orchestra, as well as R. Schumann, J. Higdon, and countless others. I'd like to record 5-6 more albums, too!
