Hi, I'm Felix.
I'm first and foremost a piano player. I'm 46, been playing just about every day since I was 9. I gig regularly and I've worked full time in the piano industry for the last 15 years from piano removals, teaching, sales including a 3-year stint as Piano Product Manager at Yamaha Music Australia.
I also play hammond organ and the gigs I do are about 50/50 split between piano and organ. I've got an original album releasing in June 2025... stay tuned.
I've played all sorts of genres in all sorts of settings, from dingy pubs to orchestra pits to fancy jazz clubs to the Sydney Opera House and back to more dingy pubs. I kinda love dingy pubs with a rockin' dancefloor.
I also sing, but to date that's mostly been in the studio. I'd like to explore more live singing. I'm a baritone.
