Unleash the Power of Music and Emotion
I am a violinist, recording artist, and passionate performer who brings music to life in ways that touch the heart and soul. With every note I play, I dance and pour my heart into the performance, creating an experience that's as much about feeling as it is about sound.
My Journey
From my earliest moments with the violin at age 7 to performing for over 65 years, my journey has been one of continuous evolution and exploration. I've traveled the world, busked in the streets, and brought my music to countless venues, always seeking to deepen my connection with this beautiful instrument.
What Makes My Music Unique
My music is a fusion of classical training and boundless creative expression. I don't simply play notes—I perform with my entire body and spirit, dancing on stage while pouring emotion into every bow stroke. This blend of virtuosity and raw passion creates a transformative listening experience.
Healing Through Sound
Beyond performance, I've discovered that my music has the profound power to help others heal. Through decades of listener testimonials, I've witnessed the transformative impact of my compositions. My mission is clear: to help others let go of pain and suffering, and reconnect with the joy that is their birthright.
Experience the Magic
When you listen to my music, you're not just hearing melodies—you're entering a space of transformation. Whether through my studio albums or live performances, each piece is crafted to touch your soul and guide you toward healing and joy.

Testimonials
A Lifelong Passion for the Violin
I started playing the violin at the age of 7, and by 8, I was already performing in public. From those early moments, I knew the violin was my true calling. At 16, I was awarded a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, where I studied until I was 20. Since then, I have been playing and performing for over 65 years, continually evolving and exploring new musical realms.
Exploring New Horizons
After my studies at the Royal Academy, I moved to America and began a new chapter. I busked in the streets, played in restaurants, and performed at intimate venues. This period allowed me to connect directly with audiences and discover the true power of my music to move people's hearts.
Dance and Music Combined
It was during this period that I began to dance passionately on stage while playing my violin. I even plugged my violin into a large amplifier, creating a more dynamic and energetic performance style. It was also around this time that many of my listeners began sharing their transformative experiences with my music—stories of emotional release and reconnection with joy.
A Mission of Healing
As I continued my journey, I realized my music was not only about performance—it had the power to help others heal. My mission became clear: "Helping others to let go of pain and suffering and reconnect with joyfulness." This became the foundation of everything I do, as I aim to inspire and uplift my audience through my music.
Collaborating With New Talent
I later teamed up with Darren Skansen, a talented lead virtuoso guitarist from a heavy metal band who was also highly classically trained. Our collaboration resulted in the album Catharsis Infinity, which became a gold record, selling over half a million copies. This album, along with Tears of Joy (also a gold album), was a testament to the emotional power of our music. After Darren, I partnered with guitarist and composer Colin McAllister, and together, we recorded two more albums: Holographic Projections and AppasiontA. Joined by keyboardist and composer, Joel Plimmer (keyboardist with Tim Weisberg and Dan Fogelberg).
My Musical Journey
Spiritual Growth & Performance
Throughout my career, I've had the profound honor of performing for visionary leaders including Deepak Chopra and Don Miguel Ruiz. These experiences reinforced my belief in the spiritual and healing power of music, inspiring me to continue my mission of uplift and transformation.
Early Years & Training
Born in England, I received my first violin at age 5 as a gift from my uncle. I studied at Kent Junior Music School before earning a prestigious scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music at 16. This rigorous classical training became the foundation for everything I would create.
A Joie de Vivre Approach
My journey around the world has taught me to blend musical styles while embracing a Joie de Vivre approach to life and art. I believe in bringing joy, passion, and authenticity to every performance, whether in concert halls or intimate gatherings.
