'There aren’t many singer-composers about today... so it was of great interest to see how the young American would fare. With a libretto based on the diaries of Rainer Maria Rilke, it was a suitably dark and sardonic score that showed us more than just a glimpse of what may yet prove to be an exceptional talent…' Anthony Las – Opera Britannia

'The musical lines of his Diary of a Young Poet are beautifully tonal, their chromatic progressions broken by refreshingly unexpected intervals.' Mark Valencia – What's on Stage

Freelance tenor professionally active in Germany, with an emphasis on character development and text expression.
