The moment when you knew you wanted to be a musician:<\/strong><\/p>\n

There wasn’t one, I never asked myself the question. What started as a hobby became serious in high school, and I just wanted to follow in the footsteps of my piano teacher at the time because I thought she was very cool!<\/p>\n

An important skill for a career in music that does not have anything to do with an instrument or making music:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time management. Most of my problems on a daily basis could be avoided if I had better time management!<\/p>\n

Two ways you stay motivated:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Listen to \/ watch good performances whether live or recorded, and keep learning new things.<\/p>\n

Latest Project:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve commissioned 7 amazing Brazilian \/ jazz pianists to write music for me to perform and record. I’ll be premiering the works in May and recording in June – stay tuned for more info!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

What inspired it:<\/strong><\/p>\n

My feelings of artistic in-betweenness. I don’t consider myself a classical pianist, or a jazz pianist, or this or that. I wanted music that reflected my musical path so far and incorporated all the things I love about music without being one thing or another.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s on it:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m the solo performer, and the music was written by Kerry Politzer, Jasnam Daya Singh, Jovino Santos Neto, Bianca Gismonti, Carmen Sandim, Cassio Vianna, and Andr\u00e9 Mehmari.<\/p>\n

How do you discover new music?  <\/strong><\/p>\n

It usually comes from recommendations made by others, these days.<\/p>\n

One living and one dead musician that deserves more attention:<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s too many to name, but all 7 pianists on my upcoming project all definitely deserve a lot more attention, so check ’em out!<\/p>\n

Where can we find you online?<\/strong><\/p>\n

www.aadpiano.com<\/a> as well as on IG<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>. It’s mostly dog photos though!<\/p>\n
