It is with deep sincerity, a measure of humility and utmost pride that I present my first album as leader.

This album, titled "Transitions", is of special importance to me. It represents the first half of a journey through life, with its attending joys, successes and sorrows. Yet at the same time it is a window opening on a new path, resolutely facing a future full of promise, both personal and professional.

"Transitions" also represents one musician’s calling card. Composing and arranging have always occupied an important place in my life. They say composers write as they play and play as they write. My goal is to reach a perfect balance between the two, though I know this will come about only through constant effort. For now, all that matters is that my stories strike a chord with listeners as I take them along on my journey.
