The compositions on this album have been described as emotional and alluring, classical yet contemporary and with a certain cinematic quality. The sense of storytelling is all-pervasive and flowing piano textures, lush string writing and lyrical melodic lines alternate with moments of solitude and contemplation.

In 1997 he moved to England to study piano, jazz piano and composition at the London College of Music, graduating in 2000 with a first-class honors Degree, followed by an MMus in jazz piano at the Leeds College of Music.
