A recording is planned for the summer of 2025.

His songs have been included in concert programming described by The Boston Globe as "powerful". Also, his songs have been described by The Washington Classical Review as having "...surprising twists, as well as a pleasing melodic style", while some of his piano music has been described as being inspired by "urban sounds", having "jazzy inflections", and "an Impressionist milkiness" by The New York Times. He has been included among "consummate melodists" by OperaWire.
