As a musician, I am constantly working in various types of styles - everything from Broadway, R&B, Gospel, and Pop, just to name a few. I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with some of the most talented and gracious artists. Below is a sampling of a few of those collaborations.
"SALTY TEADROPS" ON LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS
Watch the CAROLINE, OR CHANGE cast's performance of "Salty Teardrops" on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Nya, Harper Miles and Nasia Thomas, who bring the Radio Trio to life on stage, sang “Salty Teardrops” from the Tony Kushner and Jeanine Tesori musical. Band conducted by Annastasia Victory.
ALEX NEWELL SINGS “KISS THE AIR” AT THE CABARET
Alex Newell has always turned heads; from the time they appeared on the hit musical series Glee as the first openly transgender student on television, to his pop music career, to Broadway, their talent (and wardrobe) knows no bounds! Newell most recently wowed audiences in the Tony-winning revival of Once on This Island as the goddess Asaka, Mother of the Earth.
ZARA LARSSON AT APOLLO THEATER
As the pianist and band lead for 13 episodes of a Swedish reality show, featuring the brightest upcoming stars of Europe, I had the pleasure of working with Zara Larsson. Here she is performing at the Apollo for the final episode of the series, singing our arrangement of “Killing Me Softly.” This hot video quickly went viral with over 1.4 million views and counting.
LITTLE DANCER AT KENNEDY CENTER
What a great joy to get to play four instruments for Little Dancer (including the accordion!). In addition, I served as associate music director, conductor and pianist for this production at the Kennedy Center, directed by Susan Stroman and starring Tiler Peck, principal dancer with the New York City Ballet.
LEAP OF FAITH WITH RAUL ESPARZA
As the associate music director and lead pianist for a production of Leap of Faith at The Ahmanson theater in L.A., I worked with Brooke Shields and Raul Esparza. The play, a musical adaptation of the 1992 Steve Martin film, featured music by legendary composer Alan Menken.
CHINA'S ART AND MUSIC FESTIVAL
Touring in China with the Boys & Girls Choir of Harlem as their accompanist was a special treat for me. Together, we brought gospel music to five majors cities in China—cities which had never heard gospel music before. It was incredibly inspiring to watch audiences on the other side of the world experience this music for the first time.
