Please ensure there is power nearby and a parking space close to the venue.
All prices include a fully PAT-tested PA system.
Please let me know if the venue has a loading area for when I arrive. It would be useful to know how large the performance area is, and how many guests the venue can hold so I can ensure my PA system is suitable (although I of course don't take up much space as a soloist!)
I'm more than happy to play background music through my PA in-between sets.
The best gig I've ever done has to be performing at The Trafford Centre's VIP Press & Influencer Christmas Launch Event in November 2023! The most amazing venue is probably The Belfry Hotel & Golf Resort.
I grew up listening to Eva Cassidy and she is such an inspiration for me. So much so that I'm currently working on a show celebrating her life and music with my jazz band, Smoke & Honey! Watch this space...
I trained as a classical pianist and singer in my teenage years, and hold an ABRSM Grade 8 Distinction in both piano and singing. I went on to study Music at King's College London where I graduated with a First Class BMus degree. After graduating, I transferred my skills to popular music performance, and have worked closely with soul, pop and R&B musicians across London, Manchester and Liverpool for over 10 years.
I now perform at weddings, events and hotels/restaurants across the UK. In Manchester, I am a regular musician at venues including The Fitzgerald, Albert's Restaurants, Matt & Phred’s, Mala Secret Garden, and Zaranda Didsbury.
I adore playing at weddings. Every single one is different, and it's so special to be able to provide the backdrop to such a special moment. Music can really shape so impactful and so beautiful when it comes to creating that magical atmosphere on the day!
Setup: 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on venue.
Performance: 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minutes.
I'm more than happy to perform outside, providing that there's a power supply close-by and a flat level surface (and cover if the weather is looking unpredictable!).
I have a tried and tested set list with options that I know work well at different events, whether it's a wedding reception, a corporate event, or a restaurant. However, I'm happy to learn any song requests you may have (usually up to 3). Especially if it's a wedding ceremony, I know it's important for this to be fully bespoke!
Clients would describe me as a sophisticated, musical soloist that brings elegance and warm vibes to your event!
