Biography

Under the stage name Piano Squall, I performs video game and anime music piano concerts to raise money for charity. Since 2003, I have given concerts in sixteen different states to benefit organizations such as the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Race for the Cure, Baltimore Reads, the Maryland Food Bank, the Matthew Foster Foundation, and Tsunami Relief.

I have been a musical guest at twenty-seven anime conventions, including Sakura-Con 06 and 07, A-Kon 06, and Otakon 05, where he performed for an audience of three thousand people. His music has been featured by MTV, Newtype Magazine, GamesRadar, GameDaily, The Otaku, Destructoid, VGMusic, RPGamer, RPGFan, The Armchair Empire, SquareSound, Square Enix Music Online, QJ, and Music4Games.

In 2007, I released my debut album, entitled GAME: Game and Anime Music Emotions, which became the first video game and anime piano solo CD to be published by an independent musician. Proceeds from GAME benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to fight the disease that destroyed the life of my grandmother.
