Thwip Zifer was raised in Clinton, Mississippi. When young, Thwip would sit in front of the keys at his grandparents piano making up songs and playing tunes he heard from the radio, television, anywhere. Already music was his language. Near the age of 10, Thwip started piano lessons and began his classical training. With fingers constantly upon the keys, Thwip practiced into the night , often his parents pleaded with him to stop, so they could sleep.

“I am a pianist and organist based out of Tallahassee, FL. I have worked over 30 years on the piano and organ trying to perfect what I do and have finally figured out where it all fits… improvisational piano. I was classically trained for 12 years through out grade school, high school, and college. After learning classical, theater, ragtime, religious, rock, jazz, and blues styles; I have started fusing them into a unique combination of sound. Imagine all the heart and soul of these styles playing in and around each other at times, and then coming together into one grand experience. Then you can picture what I do. Nothing is ever played the same. And any style of music you can imagine is woven into a tapestry of sound that is as long as you like.

At the moment I am doing a lot with ragtime and slowly weaving that into the mix. But you really may not even realize just what you are listening to until it is over. I am also trying to blend more jazz and blues into it.

Join me and let us paint the colors with a musical palette as we grow together in our musical understanding. You will not be disappointed.
