Gary declared to his parents when he was six that he would be a pianist when he grew up. Incredibly, the dream came through and he has been writing, recording, and performing now for more than 30 years.

His journey started in classical piano. But as time went on, he found himself evolving deeper into the meditative side of music and striving to provide a much-needed musical oasis for our times. When he composes, he tries to reach for something on the "other side" and bring his listeners to a place of calm and regeneration.

In 2016, Gary was awarded an instrumental album of the year award from One World Radio. He has performed in Canada, the U.S., Mexico and Europe and has performed at both Carnegie Hall and the Grand Old Opry.
