He has been featured as a solo artist across the United States and China, including appearances on series such as The Silvermine Artist Series, The Steinway Sessions, and January Jazz, and at venues such as the Steinway Gallery in Hangzhou, the Steinway Pacific Headquarters in Shanghai, and the Peoria Riverfront Museum in his locale of Peoria, IL.
