Brenden was largely self-taught until he entered Grand Canyon University. Having the ability to compose and improvise piano pieces helps him communicate his emotions and thoughts. Further, music is his way of worshiping God for his gift to us of the ability to create beautiful music.
He composed a variety of piano pieces including a series of ragtime pieces, worship pieces, and numerous solo piano pieces. Brenden often improvises pieces with his seeing eye dog, Diesel, at his side.

Purpose
I am a pianist and composer who performs various piano pieces of different styles and genres, as well as my own compositions and improvisations. My goal is to inspire, motivate, and entertain others, and to show the joy and beauty of music.
“I play the notes as they are written, but it is God who makes the music.”
