If we're bringing our own PA system then yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music. WiFi will be required.
I was recently asked to travel to Riyadh to perform for the King and Queen of Saudi Arabia, in celebration of a huge boxing match that happened there. Tyson fury and his wife started dancing when they heard our music, which was just lovely! My favourite venue is definitely the top of London's Tower Bridge.
As a jazz singer, my influences are the biggies - Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee... such absolutely gorgeous singers, and they just embodied glamour and classic style.
I've a huge amount of experience as a professional musician, in fact my first professional gig was in a nightclub in Amsterdam at the age of 12! Whilst still at school I won some national awards, and performed on a number of TV shows and toured all over the world. It gave me the bug, so I completed a BA (Hons) in Jazz Studies, and I've never looked back.
I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love performing at international events. Travelling makes me feel alive - I even enjoy airports!
We usually arrive 2 hours-90 minutes before the performance to get acquainted with the venue, set up and soundcheck (but we've been known to do this in a rush if the venue's unavailable that early). We usually perform up to 2 hours of music, mostly 2x45-minute sets, but sometimes it will be 2x60-minutes or even 3x40-minute sets
Yes, as long as it's not freezing and we have adequate protection from the elements for both musicians and equipment
We have a large repertoire, and we're happy for clients to request songs from that. We can learn one or two specific songs, but they need to be agreed at least a month beforehand, and must be from the Great American Songbook.
Previous clients describe us as setting the right mood for the start of their event, the guests find us welcoming, and that we're professional, elegant and engaging.
