How I got here...
7 yrs old: Inspired by a book about Mozart, I knew I wanted to become a composer.
15 yrs old: Joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Composer Fellowship Program, mentored by Steven Stucky.
22 yrs old: Earned my B.M. in Composition from USC, studying under Donald Crockett, Stephen Hartke, Frank Ticheli, and Bruce Broughton.
24 yrs old: Completed my M.M. at Juilliard under John Corigliano.
29 yrs old: Named Composer-in-Residence at the California Symphony.
30 yrs old: Graduated with a D.M.A. from Columbia University and joined their faculty.
31 yrs old: Premiered “Aysheen” with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Today: I have a growing catalog of compositions that have been performed in North and South America, Europe, and Asia. These works include pieces for orchestra, chamber ensemble, vocalists, soloists, and electronics. I also teach hundreds of students every year, in both private and group settings.
If you love to compose as much as I do, then you’ll never stop doing it.
