The release of his latest CD, "Xiren", reflects his exceptional talent and eclectic taste in music.
Over eighty songs already existed in Xiren's repertoire when he decided to create "the Chimera Project".
As the recording sessions got under way, more than twenty musicians eagerly participated with him and Xiren wrote several more songs along the way.
"the Chimera Project" exhibits Xiren's gift for hearing a musician's particular sound and then arranging a song to reflect that person's talent.

He borrowed a friend's bass and taught himself to play.
Later, he bought a used guitar and after taking his training as far as he could alone, he succumbed to taking lessons from a professional classical guitarist in Detroit, Lee Dyamont.
Together, they transformed Xiren's playing and the songs have since poured from his soul with grace and ease.
