Christian is a composer, pianist and arranger from Ontario, Canada. His love of music began when he first heard the main theme to Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man when he was a child. He began piano lessons at age 9 and started composing shortly thereafter. He enrolled in the Bachelor of Music program at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario in 2019.

During his time at university, Christian studied composition with James Wright, Jen McLachlan and Jesse Stewart. He also studied jazz arranging with Mark Ferguson, as well as jazz piano with Steve Boudreau and Yves Laroche. In his last year, he was a pianist for the Carleton University Jazz Ensemble led by composer, arranger and trumpeter Ed Lister. Christian also arranged two pieces which he performed alongside the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra (OSO) Wind Quintet and other students as part of the OSO 2022-2023 season. He graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Performance in May of 2023.

Over the summer of 2023, Christian took private composition lessons with award-winning composer, conductor and pianist Hooshyar Khayam.

Christian’s music varies from small ensembles to large orchestral works. He also includes hybrid elements in some of his music.

Christian has scored a psychological horror film The Girl Inside The Polaroid, an animated comedy short Birdy Man, and a short detective parody Now Let Me Tell You Something. He is a freelance pianist, playing in choirs and bands around Ottawa. In his free time, he practices classical guitar and reads dusty old books.
