A native Californian, Craig grew up in a home filled with music. His grandmother sang at the Hollywood Bowl, and his mother was a well-known singer and opera star. He played accordion as a child, then advanced to piano and organ, and also classical and folk guitar. He spends hours at a time on his favorite instrument, the Roland Atelier. This amazing invention allows him to access the sounds of classical, theater organ, orchestra, jazz and country music. He has also composed many different pieces, some of which have been arranged for big band and orchestra. One was performed by New West Symphony as part of a youth concert. Six of his big band compositions were recently released as part of a new CD album entitled Big Band Stew. Another album of popular songs was released at the same time - Music is Magic!
