The Beginnings...
"The first song I remember listening was 'White Christmas' by Bing Crosby. I was 7 years old. Bing Crosby's Christmas record being listened over and over again in our house throughout the holidays. Truth be told, it was a record that introduced me to music and inspired me to become a musician, a solo piano artist." James
In the Artist's Words: "The road was sharp and flat, black and white, and held together by one thing: the Piano. For me, music feels a little like a dream. It follows me, haunts me, and keeps me in touch with another world. Melodies dance in my unconscious, and a piano song is just my attempt to make conscious sense of them."
