Alan is endorsed by piano manufacturer Bösendorfer and was previously endorsed by Yamaha. Other composers/pianists that have been endorsed by Bosendorfer include Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert, Frédéric Chopin, Richard Wagner, Johann Strauss, Johannes Brahms, Franz Lehár, Gustav Mahler, Herbert von Karajan, Leonard Bernstein, Oscar Peterson, André Previn and many more great masters. It is by far the most prestigious artist endorsement in the world.

Alan began composing music at a very early age, having started to play by ear at the age of 3. Music remained a hobby until a chance meeting with the legendary producer and artist manager, Joe Gottfried, who told Alan after listening to three original compositions that, “You need to be in this business!” Mentored by Joe, Alan established Roubik Records in 1992 as a launching pad for his own music. His first recording, entitled "Promises" was a hit on Contemporary Jazz and Adult Contemporary radio stations in the US and abroad. The popularity of this romantic record lead to the production of the music video "Promises," which regularly aired on such programs such as MTV Asia, Star TV, MOR Music and PBS. Filmed in 35mm by the same production crew that produced pop-star Michael Jackson's music videos.

In 1996, Alan began producing the first of the Music For Your Heart series of CDs, which remains one of the most successful "healing music" recordings ever produced, which is the National Archives of Japan. Scientifically tested and endorsed by an independent research laboratory in Tokyo lead by best-selling author Masaru Emoto, Alan’s music is said to have the most healing properties of any modern music.

At the age of 16, Alan sustained severe damage to the ulnar nerve in his right arm, making it nearly impossible to move his fingers. Not only immobility, but tremendous pain prevented Alan from competing. Unable to hold a fork or spoon in his right hand, doctors suggested surgery, but Alan refused. He was determined to continue playing the piano, and he began to focus on creating compositions that suited his limited hand movements. Unbeknownst to Alan, he had been utilizing one form of music therapy that would eventually strengthen his hand and allow him full mobility to perform again. Ironically, Alan would later become most well known for his music therapy recordings.
