Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

A power outlet and a small area to perform would be required. Even compact spaces are fine, as long as the area is at least 2 m × 2 m.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, I am fully self-sufficient. I bring my own PA system and mixer to all of my gigs, and I also have a simple lighting setup.


What information do you require about a venue?

Just the venue address, where I can park and load in my equipment, and any sound limitations I should be aware of.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, I’m more than happy to provide this. I’m happy to choose the music myself or let the clients choose the music.


Do you have a car?

Yes I have a car and I am fully self sufficient with a P.A system

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I played a corporate event on Shell Beach in Herm Island. It was a great experience entertaining the guests while enjoying the beautiful beach scenery.


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

I would have to say Coldplay. They are always evolving and developing their music, and Sparks from their first album Parachutes is one of my favourite songs.


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

I started gigging at a young age and have been developing my skills since I was 11. I began performing at corporate events, festivals, and pubs in 2022 as soon as I turned 18.


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

I enjoy playing all kinds of events, so it’s hard to pick a favourite. If I had to choose, it would probably be performing at large pubs such as the Keynsham Courtyard.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive an hour before the performance to set up. My standard set is 2 × 45-minute sets with a 15-minute break in between. I’m happy to play shorter or longer if needed but my pricing will change.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, I’m happy to perform outside. I would just need some shade from the sun and protection in case it rains.


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

The performance usually follows a set repertoire, but clients can request up to three songs that are not in my setlist for an additional fee.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

He prepares excellent song choices and has people quickly up on there feet dancing. He knows how to read the room and how to prepare for any event, from sunset relaxed sets to the high energy sing alongs.
