Music You Feel. Moments You Remember.
Driving Creative Vision Forward Through Original Music and Meaningful Collaboration
"As a dynamic and versatile composer, I collaborate with storytellers, creators, and communities by composing original music for meaningful impact. Through crafted sound — whether on screen or on stage — I deliver tailored soundscapes that amplify emotion, support storytelling, and connect with audiences in lasting ways." ~Rhys
MULTI-MEDIA COMPOSING: With a focus on emotionally resonant and story-driven music, I compose original scores for film, television, podcasts, and wellness and lifestyle apps. My work helps creators enhance their narratives, set tone, and create memorable audience experiences across a variety of platforms. Whether crafting ambient soundscapes, comedic cues, or podcast themes, I adapt my compositional approach to meet the distinct needs of each project — aligning tone, pacing, and style with the creative vision. Recent credits include the wellness app Calm and Score a Score's label Aura. I take pride in delivering music that not only supports storytelling but also strengthens audience connection and impact across media formats.
SOLO COMPOSITIONS: In addition to media composition, I create and release original piano music that blends classical influence with jazz-inspired improvisation. My solo work explores mood, memory, and movement through instrumental storytelling, offering listeners an intimate and reflective musical experience. These pieces are available on major streaming platforms and are often used to underscore quiet moments, creative focus, or emotional resonance. My latest release, Themes from an Upright, features a collection of expressive piano works that highlight the warmth and character of the upright piano — combining structure and spontaneity in a style that’s both nostalgic and contemporary.
LIVE PERFORMANCE: As a live performer, I bring versatility, musicality, and connection to every stage. Whether on keyboard, guitar, bass, or vocals, I tailor each performance to the setting — from ambient classical and jazz-inspired improvisations to dynamic sets that underscore speakers, create atmosphere, or energize a crowd. I’ve performed in intimate listening rooms, large venues, wedding receptions, jazz restaurants,, and community gatherings, always with a focus on musical excellence and audience experience. With a repertoire that spans instrumental music, classic rock, soul, R&B, and more, I’m passionate about creating live moments that feel both personal and unforgettable.
Upcoming 2025 performances include Madame Bar Bar at Mississippi Studios (10/17), Low Bar Chorale's "Turnstiles, A Billy Joel Sing-A-Long" at Polaris Hall (10/21), Nicoletta's Table (11/4), and The Ritz-Carlton Portland (12/26).
