Rjl Talented acoustic singer-songwriter specialising in pop/ folk covers

The best gig I've ever performed was as a duo with my producer playing his violin alongside my acoustic guitar and lead vocals. It was a fully original set list supporting an artist named George Croucher on his tour. Our set opened the London show, and we received really touching feedback from audience members and George's management team, who commended us on our songs and our professionalism.

Influenced by standard pop musicians such as Ed Sheeran and George Ezra; Ed has a fantastic stage presence and is very open about his journey with audiences. George Ezra is inspiring due to his passion for music and not being afraid to try new genres and styles. Favourite artist would have to be Ben Howard; he creates such beautiful guitar fingerpicking patterns that correlate perfectly with his vocals. I'd urge you to listen to "Keep your head up" if you are unaware of his music! As for my favourite song though, it would have to be 'another love' by Tom Odell. The choir harmonies coming into the post-chorus are absolutely stunning , and the piano part is very catchy.

Started my performing journey playing guitar at school and being a part of the choir. Progressed onto mini venues and took part in a few local talent competitions aged 14. After that, I discovered a love of busking just before lockdown which led to being booked to play weddings and eventually recording and releasing original music across streaming platforms.

Love playing all events but being a part of a wedding is always most exciting! It's an honour to be trusted to help out with such an important milestone in someone's life.

Would aim to arrive at least an hour before the gig starts, if not earlier. Set up and soundcheck very quick for 'solo' and only 10-15mins for 'duo.' Will leave time to greet clients professionally and open to stick around afterwards or leave depending on clients preference. Comfortable with performing 2x 45min sets but can shorten this if requested. 45 min sets and other time slots available upon request through a free quotation.

Happy to perform outside, some shade would be ideal but not fussy

Strive to learn any song for events but would require 2 weeks notice plus a small fee of £5 per request

Previous clients would describe RJL as a fun, charismatic performer with a great vocal. Perfect for both background music gigs and front of stage shows. Not afraid to laugh at himself and always happy to stick around after a performance to chat!
