Yes, entirely self sufficient.
Type and size of space and how many guests approximately.
Happy to play a playlist of choice or a suitable selected one based on type of event and mood.
The best gig I played was the release of my solo artist music, under St. Blue. The release was held at Soho House's The Ned with a live band who have now become best friends. As a cover's artist, Breast Cancer Walk The Walk/Moon Walk - Sloane Square at 4am was a hugely rewarding experience. I've played for Women's Prize for Fiction a couple of times for Women's Week, I thoroughly enjoy meeting writers and poets, always delicious foods and champagne in a beautiful central London park. Publicly, I've played RideLondon in Hyde Park on a large stage as riders finished to celebrate with friends and family, Saatchi Gallery and Granary Square Brasserie as regular residencies. I've also played in the Shard, Royal Ascot, Tower Bridge, and other Soho House venues.
Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free! I love soul.
I didn't get into music until I went to Uni, I did open mic a few times alongside my coding degree. And ended up at music school in London, I played a few gigs that I got through friends and was able to build a reputation for myself from there.
I enjoy weddings the most as I'm a huge romantic.
45 minutes before start. For an early arrival & setup extra fees apply.
I'm happy to play outside as long as there's a nearby power supply.
Clients can choose from my set list but I also offer to learn a song of choice.
Really sets the tone and atmosphere but doesn't take away from the main event.
Barclays, Royal Ascot, Microsoft, ARM, British Airways, Breast Cancer Research, Women's Prize For Fiction.
The Shard, Saatchi Gallery, Granary Square Brasserie, Royal Ascot, Four Seasons Dubai, Pizza Express London, Kensington Roof Gardens, Gordon Ramsay's Bread Street Kitchen.
