I have been playing the piano for over 22 years, studying jazz and classical music in that time. Currently I perform every week as the director of the house band at the Firehouse Theater, coming up with genre bending songs on the spot for whatever the scene/audience calls for.

Additionally, I teach piano as well, primarily to young learners who are first encountering music. I blend my years of teaching preschool with my love for music to create an environment for young learners to experiment and appreciate the piano in a non-competitive environment.

My piano lessons, geared for beginners, are affordable and available in person in Providence, Rhode Island. Any questions about lessons please reach out!

I also perform original music under the moniker Damien Baby, drawing influence from 70’s piano led soft rock. My most recent album “Grackle Heaven” was released in November 2023 with a new record set to be produced at Big Nice Studio in March 2025.
