About

"I play the notes as they are written, but it is God who makes the music" - J.S Bach 

For as long as I can remember, music has always been a part of my life.

Having begun formal lessons in piano at the age of 5, I have always had a special love for Christian and Liturgical music, prompting me at a young age to become an organist in my parish church - a journey which has continued for over 25 years. 


It was through this journey, and gained understanding of liturgy, that I also developed a deep admiration for the classical organ (pipe organ). Through this admiration, I have been fortunate to develop my skills on the classical organ and been able to play these grand instruments in a number of churches across Sydney.


I am fueled by a passion to offer the highest dignity and quality of music to your occasion while also considering myself a ‘forever student’, that continues to develop and learn more about my craft. My proficiency in the various ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Rite, along with recent exposure to several Eastern Catholic Rites (Eg. Maronite, Melkite and Chaldean) makes me a well-versed musician in Christian religious ceremony.


I am also happy to assist you with developing a musical program for your occasion which is both fitting of your special day and respective of your faith celebration.


Feel free to contact me to discuss your special day and to check if your date is still available.
