I'm very fortunate to welcome this  Emmy Award-winning composer, pianist, animation enthusiast, and friend.
Born in 1989 in Los Angeles, this composer defies genre while paying homage to his jazz roots and introducing alternative and R&B influences. He scored documentaries like Kobe Bryant’s Muse and Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You, as well as scripted series including Shonda Rhimes and Paul William Davies’ For The People, Netflix’s Dear White People, and SHOWTIME’S Black Monday. In 2011, he was awarded the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition and went on to perform with and for artists including Marcus Miller, Jay-Z, and Q-Tip.
In 2018, this unstoppable composer played double duty scoring and also playing Mahershala Ali's on-screen hand double in Academy Award-winning film, Green Book. In 2019, he scored Ava Duvernay's Netflix miniseries, When They See Us, about the Central Park Five. This year, in 2020, he scored HULU show Mrs. America, has music in the forthcoming Madden 2020 video game, and he is working on the score for the upcoming Malcolm D. Lee film Space Jam 2!
