He initiated his career as an accompanist on piano at the vaudeville circuit and in no time, rose up to conduct his first orchestra. He conducted musicals on Broadway and later made a plunge into the film industry. His musical compositions are unique in terms of their content and forward a music that is enriched with melody and harmony.
