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

I have performed at many incredible venues around the world but my absolute favourite gig was performing at the world famous Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club in London.

One of my favourite songs to perform (Especially with a big band) is "Luck Be A Lady"


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

I started gigging at the ages of 18, calling myself the Teenage Crooner. I was just looking to earn some extra money on the side, but every quickly I started to get booked up by venues everywhere. Within about 6 months I left my job and became a full time performer. I haven't looked back since.


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

I love Weddings and anniversary parties because everyone so happy and already in a great mood so that always makes for a great gig. I also love performing at theatre venues and Jazz clubs where the audience sit and really appreciate the music being played.
