The Pianist Behind 500+ Celebrations
My story
I've spent the last eighteen years making moments matter from behind the piano. From intimate ceremonies to packed dance floors, my job is the same every time: read the room, feel the moment, and play exactly what it needs.
I'm the resident pianist for the Jersey City Cabaret, where I accompany 20+ singers every month with about a week of prep and one rehearsal before showtime. I've been the accompanist for North River Sing's 70-member choir since 2019, and I spent years as the music director for a ten-piece wedding band — arranging full horn charts, building practice tracks, and managing the whole production from behind the keys. I also played in a Billy Joel cover band for close to a decade, and I've been producing my mother's recitals for over ten years. Every Sunday, I play keys at the church where I grew up — alongside my mother, who leads worship, and my family, who've been making music together for as long as I can remember.
What sets my work apart is adaptability. I've learned hundreds of songs by ear fifteen minutes before performing them, and sight-read plenty of songs I'd never seen before the night of the show. I've transitioned Canon in D into the Sunday Night Football theme mid-ceremony because a couple wanted something unexpected. I've arranged K-pop processionals, turned video game scores into cocktail hour sets, and built custom medleys on the fly. If you can hum it, I can play it — and if you can't find it on a song list, I'll learn it for you.

Driven by passion
The gigs that light me up most are the ones where music becomes something bigger than performance. The cabaret where a first-time singer finds their confidence. The church service where the plan goes out the window and something real takes over. The wedding where a grandmother hears her favorite song and starts crying before the bride even walks in.
I believe the gifts we're given come from God, and they aren't for us to keep. They're for the people sitting in front of us. That's why I show up every week, every month, every season — not because it's a job, but because it's the reason He put my hands on the keys in the first place.
"At our rehearsal, there was a mishap with one of the processional songs, originally written for guitar. Isaac listened to it a few times and rewrote it for piano in about 10 minutes... If you want ceremony music that feels personal, intentional, and unforgettable, Isaac is the one."
