Yes, I'm completely self contained. I bring my own PA system and keyboard 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. We’d also need to be informed if there’s 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.
I’ve been influenced by a variety of artists across different genres. I’ve always admired the vocal agility of Aretha Franklin and Ariana Grande, and I’m deeply inspired by Amy Winehouse and her incredible songwriting ability. I’ve 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.
Though I’m now in the early stages of my professional gigging career, I’m really excited to bring the skills and passion I’ve developed to new audiences. Music is my joy, and I’m committed to delivering high-quality performances at every opportunity.
I love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are my favourite!
I typically arrive 30 minutes to an hour before the performance to allow time for setup. My performance times can vary depending on the event, but for weddings, I offer several wedding packages or can work with you to create a bespoke package tailored to your day. These services include:
Ceremony Music
Drinks Reception Music
Wedding Breakfast Music
Evening Performance
I’m happy to discuss options and adapt to your unique needs to ensure your day is truly special.
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 they’d like, I’m 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.
I’m 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 I’ve received so far, I’ve been told my performances are described as emotionally engaging, energetic, and professional. Clients appreciate my ability to adapt the music to suit the vibe of the event, whether it's a romantic ceremony, a lively party, or an intimate dinner setting.
I always aim to connect with the audience, bringing joy and atmosphere to each performance, and it’s my goal that every client walks away feeling that the music made their event even more special.
