Welcome!

I’m a composer and musician working in the San Francisco Bay Area, I strive to write music that is distinctive, yet relatable. Spend some time on my site and check out what I have to offer.

“Musicians paint their pictures on silence.” — Leopold Stokowski

Making music should not feel like a chore. Whether at church or at play, music can either elevate the moment or bring it crashing down. There is plenty of noise on the airwaves. I have no interest in adding to that. I want simply to offer a quality experience through my music for both listener and performer.

Check out John and the young up-and-coming bass-baritone Wilford Kelly in music of Brahms, Strauss, Bellini, Moses Hogan, and others in a livestream recital.
