Award winning composer since the age of 15 and still doing what comes naturally. A pianist now and since early lessons with Oscar Peterson's sister Daisy Sweeney. After a courtship with guitar and bass through a journey of rock and country the natural progression was back to the piano and jazz to form a Canadian band called the jazzmongers! which recorded two CDs and had seen much success via film, television and radio. Just put Ken Skinner or jazzmongers! in a search engine for more on that phase of development.
