Versatility

About Me

When I comissioned the opera [Golondrina], I had no idea L. C. would write an opera that would hold its own next to Puccini and Verdi. I've produced it twice in the last three years!

I started playing piano and double bass at an early age, and I was writing large-scale pieces in high school. After graduating from the USC Thornton School of Music, I wrote for films and commercials while also writing concert music.

Deadlines, quality, and keeping on budget are always top priorities for every project.

I then wrote school performance music and instructional method books while working in music publishing for over 20 years. I've now returned to my roots of writing for film, commercials,  concert music, and opera.

I do it right!

I've devoted my life to creating music!

Whether a producer wants a certain style, or an artist needs a bold song cycle, I listen to their needs and create music in line with their vision.
