Six years ago, I had some time and made a couple of Michael Jackson piano covers and posted them on YouTube. They garnered some success and popularity amongst viewers. My goal was to attract a different audience to the piano, and it was a success. The second goal was to have them see the classical videos I posted and attract them to a new sound. I can’t believe it has taken me this long to start my next project. The New Years Resolution is to record more...so here is my first cover. Radiohead’s masterpiece!
