He began his career as a rock guitarist and then went on to study the cello with the finest classical teachers from The Juilliard School and other prestigious establishments. He has performed his works with orchestras around the world and on radio and television. His compositions are truly innovate and mix popular styles with classical techniques to create a unique and exciting musical blend that cellists — especially young cellists — love to play.
