Artists tend to fall into one of two camps. There are the ones that simply live for the performance…to record songs and to entertain. And then there are those who also fully embrace the technology side of the business.

Well, for those who love the techy stuff, this page is for you.
I’m always on the lookout for new and unusual instruments but, as you’ve probably worked out by now, keyboards are my first love.
