— Ian is also an active performing pianist, known for his wide palette of genres and richly improvised textures. He regularly performs at private events in Hamilton, including engagements with the Art Gallery of Hamilton (AGH), and has been the longtime keyboardist for the alternative funk band Junestone since 2018. Live performance remains an important extension of his compositional voice and musical language.

In addition to his creative work, Ian offers professional piano tuning and maintenance services for local clients.
