Hi! I’m Dean—a pianist, songwriter, and music producer from Seattle, Washington. I’ve been playing piano professionally for over 13 years and was fortunate to further my musical studies at Berklee College of Music in Boston. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a dual degree in Music Production & Engineering and Songwriting. During my time at Berklee, I had the privilege of studying piano under esteemed professors such as Laszlo Gardony and Alain Mallet. After graduation, I moved to Los Angeles to continue pursuing my musical career and share my knowledge with people just like you! I have experience in a wide range of styles, including pop, R&B, jazz, and classical. Additionally, I’ve spent years working with keyboards and synthesizers, developing a specialty in them—so if that’s your interest, I’ve got you covered there too! I’m incredibly passionate about music and teaching, and I’m genuinely excited to get to know you and help you on your musical journey!
