Yes, I'm completely self contained. I bring my own PA system to my gigs.
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. Weβd also need to be informed if thereβs a sound limiter in the venue.
Yes, I'm happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between my sets. I'm happy to choose the music myself or let the client choose the music.
Iβve been influenced by a variety of artists across different genres. Iβve always admired the vocal agility of Aretha Franklin and Ariana Grande, and Iβm deeply inspired by Amy Winehouse and her incredible songwriting ability. Iβve also had the privilege of seeing Billy Joel live several times! His ability to connect with the audience is something I really admire and strive to replicate in my own performances.
Music has always been a huge passion of mine. From a young age, I knew I wanted to pursue it seriously, so I went on to study music at university. This allowed me to hone my skills and build my craft, focusing on both vocals and piano performance. Throughout my studies, I gained invaluable experience performing in different settings, from small intimate gigs to larger group performances. After recently graduating, I am now a self employed musician and love performing for people.
I love playing at all sorts of events but parties and bar gigs are my favourite!
I normally perform 2 x 45 minute sets or 2 x 60 minute sets. I am more than happy to play for a bit longer or shorter though depending on what the client wants!
I am happy to play outside but I ask for cover for my electrical equipment in case of rain and a power supply close to the performance area.
Clients are more than welcome to choose songs from my existing repertoire for their event. If there are specific songs theyβd like, Iβm happy to learn up to 3 songs before the event, though I do limit this to ensure I can rehearse them properly.
For wedding couples, I offer a first dance request and an aisle/entrance song free of charge. If additional song requests are made, especially during peak wedding season, there may be a small fee to cover the extra rehearsal time.
Iβm happy to collaborate and work with clients to create the perfect soundtrack for their day, whether they want a personalized setlist or prefer me to choose the music.
From the feedback Iβve received so far, Iβve been told my performances are described as energetic, heartfelt and professional. Clients appreciate my ability to adapt the music to suit the vibe of the event.
I always aim to connect with the audience, bringing joy and atmosphere to each performance, and itβs my goal that every client walks away feeling that the music made their event even more memorable.
