I'm excited that my debut solo album "Reel One" is now available on all streaming platforms. "Reel One" is dedicated to both filmmakers and to fans of film music. My hope is that this music will inspire filmmakers in their creative process, helping to form ideas that will make it to the page in "Reel One" of their screen stories. And for film music fans, I've attempted to pay homage to both the melodic scores of the past and hybrid sound of modern cinema.

"Reel One" also has meaning in my journey as a composer. The term refers to the first reel of motion picture film, typically the first 20 minutes of a movie. In the first reel, a film's characters are introduced to the audience. In that spirit, "Reel One" is a fitting term to describe my introduction to the world as a composer. While I've been writing music for many years, this specific album is a culmination of themes I've written over the last two years.

I hope you enjoy listening to the album as much as I enjoyed creating it.
