As a recording artist, I have twice been nominated for the Hollywood Music in the Media Award. I have written several documentary soundtracks. My music is featured in the film, Free Willy, and I am featured in the award-winning documentary, Alive Inside.

I am the founding director for the non-profit organization, Musicians for World Harmony, and I run a virtual Music Heals program for people dealing with memory loss and their care-givers.
