About / Biography

With over 10 years of experience performing at the highest level, pianist and musician Christian has performed hundreds of shows at some of the most exclusive Venues in the UK. Weddings, Private Functions, Classical Recitals, Jazz Concerts, Film Screenings and more, throughout his career Christian has been no stranger to the world of the elite musician.
His skill as a pianist and approachable personality has seen him work with many of London’s’ most in-demand musicians, whilst as a soloist he has performed at VIP events throughout the UK and Europe, even playing for members of the Royal Family at an exclusive VIP private party. From private shows at Premier League Stadiums to Luxury Hotels and Historic Locations, Christian is a pianist that guarantees experience, class, luxury, and approachability. The Corinthia, The Four Seasons, Coworth Park, Cliveden House, Leicester Square Rooftop Gardens, Harrow, Bishopsgate Institute, and Zedel Brasserie are but a few of the venues that he has performed at.
With a repertoire that spans the best Jazz, Blues, Pop, Classical, Motown, and Funk pieces, booking Christian ensures that your clients or guests will have an incredible experience. Christian’s goal with each booking, from Weddings to Corporate Functions, is for the music to reflect the individuality of each event. When booking, Christian’s Clients have the option to curate their own set list from one of his existing set lists but are free to request special songs which Christian will learn at no extra cost. Currently Christian plays a Jazz Cocktail Set list which contains self-arranged jazz covers of some of the biggest tracks of the last 50 years, inspired by the legendary Post Modern Jukebox.
In addition to this, he also has a standard Wedding Set list which contains over 150 love songs and is continually updated. Weddings, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Corporate events; no two events are alike, so why should the music be the same? Whether you’re looking to add a touch of class to a drinks reception / private dinner, or give a wedding ceremony the grandeur it deserves, then hiring a pianist is the perfect way to bring your event to life. Christian provides his own PA and Electric Piano – The Nord Stage 2, alongside Baby Grand Piano shell (see pictures) for added class! He is happy to provide this industry-leading instrument if your venue does not have a tuned piano.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I provide my own equipment, however, if a venue has a piano I will use it providing it is tuned. If not, all I need is power sockets.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, I provide my own PA for all gigs, unless of course the venue already has a piano.


What information do you require about a venue?

I just need to know parking situation as well as loading access.


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

Yes, I have a bluetooth speaker which I use for background music between sets.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I've played some pretty amazing venues, but the best show I have ever played was a private party for members of the Royal Family. Which Royal family I cannot say due to signing an NDA, but that was a particularly big moment!


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

As a pianist I am very much inspired by some of the greats like Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Ahmed Jamal, Wynton Kelly, but I am a huge fan of Brad Mehldau and his modern jazz pop covers!


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

I started gigging at University and it took off from there. Fast forward ten years and I have played hundreds of shows across the UK and Europe.


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

I love playing at all sorts of events. Each one is different, so for me, it is impossible to pick a favourite.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally arrive 1 hour before performance time to set up. My set is broken up in to either 2 x 45 minute sets or 2 60 minute sets.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Im happy to play outside, but it needs to be under cover, as well as a relatively flat surface with access to power.


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

I am more than happy to take requests, but I limit it to 5 songs. After that there will be an additional charge for each extra song. Clients are welcome to chose music from my repertoire however, or I can take the stress away and choose the set list for them.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Most previous clients describe my performance as fantastic, virtuosic and engaging. There is something in my set for audiences of all ages!
