Meet your pianist

A lifetime behind
the keys.

I’m Paul J. Garay. I’ve been playing piano for more than five decades, with a love for contemporary music and the way one well-chosen song can transform a room.

I bring the same care to every performance: listen closely, prepare thoroughly, arrive reliably and play with sensitivity to the people and the occasion. Choose expressive instrumental piano, piano with vocals, or a thoughtful mix of both.
