Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

For live events, I typically charge $250 per hour and $1000 per hour for a 4 piece live band. However, this also depends on the production needs and scale of the event. For voice students, I teach 50 minute lessons for $120 with discounted bundles 5 Lessons $540 (10% Off,) 10 Lessons $960 (20% Off,) 20 Lessons $1800 (25% Off)

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I like to do a zoom or FaceTime call to better understand the client's needs and try to figure out the best custom solutions to exceed client expectations.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have 20+ years of musical training including being classically trained by a Julliard Master on Saxophone, attending Berklee College of Music as a Voice Principal with Sax as my secondary instrument, and I've continued my training by taking courses by the top vocal coaches in the music industry.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I was born a natural performer and started singing at the age of four and never looked back! Once I was able to develop my skills as a performer, giving back by way of teaching was a natural progression.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked as a singer, saxophonist, and producer for high profile entertainment and industry clients such as T-Pain, Camila Cabello, Brent Faiyaz, The Jennifer Hudson Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Target, Credit Karma, Warner Bros, Paramount, Nickelodeon, and Sony Music. For events, I have worked as a singer and saxophonist for ultra high end multi hundred thousand to million dollar budget events including luxury weddings, corporate events, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Award Shows, and more. For students, I have worked with anyone from a Disney Star to an artist who played The Crypto.Com Arena to an artist with millions of streams on Spotify. I've also worked with students who have taken tremendous strides in singing including landing lead roles, releasing their first albums, and performing their first concerts.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I was Lead Singer, Bandleader, Emcee, Saxophonist and Music Coordinator for a Luxury Wedding at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. The whole process spanned about three months. I was in charge of planning all music and production needs including the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. I hired the band, worked out details with the bride, groom and wedding planner, did two walkthroughs with the bride and groom and vendors, provided and ran sound for the ceremony, played saxophone for cocktail hour with my guitarist, and performed a three hour set with a 5 piece band comprised of elite Los Angeles musicians.
