He masterfully combines rare instruments from across the globe with synthesizers, vocals, and intricate orchestration creating an unparalleled take on ancient and mystical mythology. This San Diego native knew he wanted to be a musician since high school. His first forays into music were appropriately ethereal numbers, "Dream Spell" and "Awakening," written for a play called "The Goblin's Bride," which was based on the myth of the faerie. These would be the inspiration for his next six albums.
