Welcome Lover of Beauty

This website is a work in progress so I appreciate your patience.

I compose music for picture, video games, and for my own personal artistry.

I play piano. Piano improvisation is something of a specialty of mine. (Entirely improvised concerts = zero prep plus wow factor of making it up on the spot heck yess)

I am inspired by nature, kindness, and other art in all its forms.

I love cooking. (Follow me on instagram for the occasional “Chef Whyman in the Kitchen” IG story)

I have a parakeet named Sir Peppercorn who also loves music.

I’m grateful to have made a living in Los Angeles for the last decade or so. I’ve performed with some really awesome artists in front of thousands of people, recorded on notable films and TV hows, played in orchestras, experienced the music of different peoples around the world, and written music for ensembles of all shapes and sizes.

My heart music contains all those stories and influences and cultures, tends to be on the classical-ish side with some jazz elements thrown in as well as synthy textures and the occasional beat. Please take a listen and let me know where it fits because I have yet to settle on a genre.

Composition for me is more an exercise in presence and listening than anything else. Through music we grieve, protest, and celebrate alongside all of humanity.

An act of being with and listening to the very spirit of God.

I hope you enjoy what you see and hear!
