Celebrating the 20th birthday of one of my favourite albums, Mama’s Gun, with an impromptu improv of one of my favourite songs, Bag Lady, by one of my favourite artists, Erykah Badu.

Original Song: Breathe
Times are a-changing. Many deep wounds are being exposed and along with that the collective pain of millions that has been suppressed for far too long is washing over the world and it is palpable no matter where you are. Humanity is awakening and it is challenging, it is uncomfortable but it is oh-so necessary …
Spitfire Audio Westworld Scoring Comp 2020 Entry
I’ve dreamt of and aspired to scoring something one day. This is the first time I’ve attempted it and I loved every minute of it. Big thanks to the lovely people at Spitfire Audio, Westworld, and HBO for this opportunity! Here’s a cover song with a cinematic vibe: Marco and Gina’s Theme.
Original Song: Blood Moon
Blood Moon tells the story of a werewolf waking from a long slumber, taking a walk in the rain, and meeting the lady of his dream. How will their story end? I would LOVE to see a Corpse Bride style cartoon done to this. Animators, holla at me yo!!! Special shout out goes to Partners …

Cover Song: Unfaithful (Instrumental) by Rihanna
The Jazz Piano Book says I should transcribe songs so I gave Rihanna‘s Unfaithful a whirl, sounds about right, yeah? Things I’ve learnt from this exercise: Pop songs are very simple and loopy. Strings are delicious but they make it veeeeery hard to hear the piano! The home straight is where shit happens. Check out …

Piano Cover: “Marco and Gina’s Theme” by Joe Hisaishi 久石讓
A few months ago I made myself a promise that I’ll finish all the musical projects I’ve started. Operation Finished, Not Perfect commenced. This is the first project I’m sharing. It certainly can and should be cleaner but I’m sharing now precisely because it is not perfect. This is one of my favourite songs by …
