Advertorialized WP:AUTOBIO of a musician, not properly sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, notability for Wikipedia purposes is not a question of the things the article says, but of the depth and quality of the referencing that can be shown to independently verify that the things it says are actually accurate -- and while this says things about his career that would probably be valid notability claims if it were sourced properly, it fails to reference them to any independent third party coverage in real reliable sources, and instead goes for a mix of YouTube performance videos, Facebook and Meetup posts, the self-published websites of organizations or orchestras he's been directly affiliated with, and improperly licensed photographs of his own CD booklets and other primary source documents just plopped directly into body text in a wildly inappropriate and unacceptable manner -- absolutely none of which is reliable or notability-supporting sourcing at all. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced much, much better than this, and even if the article can be salvaged it still absolutely isn't allowed to be formatted this way.
