About / Biography

Music has always been at the heart of who I am, and performing as a wedding singer and guitarist allows me to share that passion in the most meaningful of ways. There’s something incredibly special about playing live on such an important day — creating those magical moments that stay with couples and their guests long after the last song ends. Whether it’s an intimate acoustic rendition of a first dance, or a rousing singalong that fills the dance floor, my goal is always the same: to bring people together through music.

I first picked up a guitar as a teenager and was immediately hooked on the way a simple melody could connect people. Over the years, I’ve honed my craft by performing in pubs, clubs, and private events across South Wales, developing a wide repertoire that blends crowd-pleasing favourites with unique acoustic twists on unexpected songs. Along the way, I’ve grown into the type of performer who can adapt to any atmosphere — from relaxed daytime sets during drinks receptions to high-energy singalongs that lift the roof during evening parties.

What makes my act different is the variety I offer. I’m just as comfortable performing timeless anthems from artists like Oasis, Bruce Springsteen, and Sam Fender as I am reimagining pop hits from Whitney Houston, ABBA, or Ricky Martin in stripped-back, soulful arrangements. People often tell me this mix is what makes their night — because there’s something for everyone, whether it’s the nostalgic pull of a Britpop classic or the surprise of hearing a party anthem delivered acoustically in a fresh and engaging way.

Professionalism is at the core of how I approach every booking. I understand that weddings are once-in-a-lifetime occasions, and I take pride in working closely with each couple to ensure the music perfectly reflects their vision for the day. From learning special requests to carefully planning setlists that flow with the schedule, I aim to make the process stress-free and enjoyable. I also bring all my own professional equipment and provide a polished sound that works for venues of all sizes — from cosy barns to grand reception halls.

Some of my highlights so far include performing at events where guests of all ages ended up singing arm-in-arm to classic anthems, creating a genuine festival-style atmosphere, as well as playing stripped-down acoustic versions of romantic ballads. These moments are why I do what I do — because music has the power to transform an event into something unforgettable.

As a performer, I bring not just my voice and guitar, but also a relaxed, friendly personality that helps everyone feel at ease. I want couples to feel confident that when they book me, they’re not just hiring a musician, but someone who genuinely cares about making their big day as special as it can possibly be.

If you’re looking for a wedding singer and guitarist who can combine heartfelt romance with lively, feel-good energy, I’d love to be part of your celebration. Together, we’ll create the soundtrack to memories that last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

The best gig I’ve ever done was a private booking for a birthday party that came through an Instagram follower. I turned up to a packed social club and met the client for the first time, and from the very first song the dance floor was full. Guests of all ages – from the client’s children to her parents – took turns leading the charge, singing and dancing to their favourite songs. The atmosphere was electric, and the whole night felt like a whirlwind of joy and celebration.
What made it stand out wasn’t just the energy on the dance floor, but the warmth and friendliness of everyone there. By the end of the night, the client, her family, and friends were helping me pack up and carry my equipment to the car, while still stopping to chat and share how much they had enjoyed the music. It’s the kind of gig that reminds me why I love performing – because live music has the power to bring people together in such a genuine, unforgettable way.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I’m influenced by artists like Oasis, Bruce Springsteen and Sam Fender for their anthems and storytelling. My favourite artist is Prince, because of his incredible range of musical styles. And for me, the greatest song of all time is A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay – it connects with so many emotions and always brings people together.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started out playing guitar and singing in pubs and clubs around South Wales, gradually building a following and repertoire. From there, bookings grew through word of mouth and social media, leading to weddings, parties and private events where I’ve performed for audiences of all ages.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

I enjoy performing at all types of events, but weddings are definitely my favourite. There’s something special about being part of such a big day – the atmosphere is always full of love and celebration, and it’s easy to get everyone singing and dancing together.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive around 90 minutes before the performance to set up and soundcheck. A typical booking is 2 x 45 minute sets or 2 x 60 minute sets, but I’m always happy to adapt timings to fit the flow of your event.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Playing outside is actually my favourite – it has a real festival vibe and creates such a great atmosphere. I just need to know in advance if I should bring my own power or cover so everything runs smoothly.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I’m happy to learn up to 3 songs in advance of the booking, and couples are always welcome to provide a ‘do not play’ list. You can either choose favourites from my repertoire or leave it to me to read the crowd and keep the atmosphere flowing.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients often say I have a great selection of music for all tastes – from singalong anthems to surprise acoustic twists – and they love how it gets every generation involved.


Do you take song requests during your performance?

Absolutely – if it’s in my repertoire, I’m happy to include requests on the night, and I can also learn up to 3 special songs in advance of your booking.


What genres of music do you cover?

My repertoire is really varied – from Oasis, Springsteen and Sam Fender through to ABBA, Whitney Houston and Coldplay. There’s something for everyone, whatever their taste or age.
