Good Morning (America)! Wrapping up an incredible week with @sofiacarson. Started with a 4am wake up for GMA. Ending with a video shoot today. Beyond grateful

Yowza time moves fast. Happy 9th anniversary to Steve Vai’s Story of Light! About 8 years ago, I embarked on my very first tour as Steve’s keyboardist. Our first stop was in Australia… I was 18 and literally couldn’t have been any farther from home, but I was with an incredible group of humans who treated me like family. I’m beyond grateful for them. Thanks @stevevaihimself for welcoming me into the Vai Village and for bringing the best out of me. I wouldn’t be the same musician or person without you all, I love you all more than I can say.

Madison Square Garden orchestral debut! Barely a week ago, I got a wild phone call... I had the opportunity to co-arrange a symphonic medley for global music phenom, Fuerza Regida. The hitch: it was due “yesterday”, needed to be 11 minutes long, and was going to be performed in front of sold out audiences at Madison Square Garden and Hollywood Bowl. The next 2.5 days were a blur and a blast. Thank you to @pianomark16 for the invitation to collaborate with you. Thanks to @nickrosenmusic for referring me. I’m beyond grateful to the talented musicians, contractors, and conductors for bringing this music to life so vividly. I had the pleasure of overseeing the New York rehearsal under the capable hands of conductor @joseluisdominguez356 and orchestral contractor, @spnevents . Thanks to everyone on the LA team as well. While I couldn’t be at the Hollywood Bowl, I look forward to celebrating with my brothers, Mark and Nick

My split personality: the professor and the artist. Classical pianist and keyboardist/sound designer/multi-instrumentalist. Orchestral arranger/composer and pop producer/music director. Reading/writing the sheet music vs learning by ear. Educator and performer. Black tie or Friday casual. Whichever side you need, I’ve got you covered

We’re hardly one week into tour and my heart is full. Playing country music’s most important stage, the Grand Ole Opry, was surreal. Thankful to share this moment with @hunterhayes and my other dear friends

What an incredible afternoon celebrating one of our biggest national treasures, Mr. Dick Van Dyke! I felt so lucky to accompany him along with my fellow Jersey brother, Jason Alexander (aka George Costanza)

“Music must remain the common ground upon which we all stand together in peace and harmony”. Thank you @harveymasonjr for your outstanding leadership of the Recording Academy. Proud to have worked with these amazing artists and to have contributed my string quartet arrangement of @nickrosenmusic‘s beautiful composition.

Congratulations to Diane Warren for her Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song, “Fire Inside”! I’m proud to have helped arrange the symphonic version for the Deadline Sound and Screen concert alongside @nickrosenmusic
