All I require is a plug socket for me to be able to connect my PA system up to.
Absolutely, I own my PA system that I will bring to the event as well as a lighting rig. Everything is included in the price.
I would appreciate knowing where closest to the venue I can park and unload my equipment. Also, it's good to know if the venue are happy for me to sound check at least an hour before the start time of the event.
I offer a half hour free Spotify service between my sets but I'm more than happy to be the DJ for your event at an extra cost dependent on how long you require the service. I'm happy to create a playlist for my clients once I know the style they require or let my client create the music for me to play. Either way this service means less hassle for the client having to hire separate entertainers.
The best gig of 2023 was preforming for over 9700 people at Gloucester Rugby Club for the AP15'S Women's Rugby Finals. It was amazing to sing for such an energetic audience at such an amazing sporting event, televised on BBC.
I love Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Chaka Khan to name a few, collectively their iconic tunes are loved by all no matter your age, which is why I have included some of their songs into my repertoire. Definitely tunes to make you move your body!
I have been gigging for over 20 years and started because of my parents love of music. Music is a part of my soul!
I love performing at all types of events. I can't pick a favourite as I get to do what I love most at each of them, which is to sing and make people feel good through listening to music!
I normally need a minimum of 1 hour before the performance to set up. My standard performance time 2 x 45 minutes sets. I'm happy to play with timing to work around your event should it be required.
I'm more than happy to perform outside but may require shade in hot weather or a covering should it rain to protect my equipment. Also, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
My clients are welcome to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me choose the music for them. I am able to learn new songs upon request for a fee but there is always a chance I partly know a track and so will include the song free of charge.
Previous clients commonly describe me as being a "professional singer with quality backing tracks, who never fails to provide the vibe required , from background entertainment at a wedding to getting people up dancing and singing their hearts out.
