I am a touring concert guitarist from Europe. I have earned over 100 music awards and performed over 400 concerts on 5 continents. I hold 6 university degrees in guitar performance, including a doctorate from USC and a doctoral-level degree from the Royal Academy of Music in London. I am quite sure that you won't find a more experienced or qualified guitarist on Thumbtack.
I love playing live music in my time off from touring because gigs are where I can have the most direct impact on people's mood. There's nothing I love more than gifting people unique and unexpected musical moments through my work!
** Please note: I am a solo guitarist, not a singer. I do not sing. I love collaborating with singers, though! See below for ensemble work. **
Genres / styles:
Although my background is classical, I have a doctorate in guitar performance and can play almost any style that you request. If you don't have a preference, I can gladly use my vast existing repertoire to craft a diverse program that would best fit your event. I have about 6 hours of active repertoire, but I'm happy to take requests and learn new music specifically for your event!
Do you have a favorite song or film soundtrack? I can probably play it for you on the guitar! And if you're looking for Spanish guitar, classical guitar, or classical crossover music, that's exactly where my background is. I also love jazz, Latin music and Balkan music, so let me know if you'd like me to play some for you.
Guitar & Electronics:
You don't need to book multiple musicians to achieve variety of sound and instruments at your event! Through the use of my proprietary live playback technology, I can trigger synchronized pre-recorded backing tracks to accompany me at all times. This brings the sound of an entire band or orchestra to your event without requiring you to pay more than one artist. Check out some samples on my website!
Types of events:
I have a lot of experience playing both corporate events and private events such as weddings, birthday parties, etc. For corporate events, I have been hired by companies such as BMW, Deutsche Bank, MGM Studios, Audi, Lloyds Bank, and many others.
For weddings, birthdays and other private parties, I play both background music (during the reception or cocktail hour) and foreground music (e.g. during the walk down the aisle), as well as special musical events (e.g. a short musical moment after a toast.) I also love playing full-on private concerts, in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Equipment:
As a solo guitarist, I am incredibly versatile and can play in almost any setting of your choice. I have my own PA kit that does not require access to power for the first ~4 hours of a show. The only thing I do require is a basic chair with no armrests, and a place to safely store my belongings while I perform.
Instruments:
Although I am not a singer, I love collaborating with singers! If you would like to book me for a guitar + voice concert, just let me know. Keep in mind that booking me to play together with other musicians will cost more, because they will also need to be compensated. My posted rate is for solo concerts.
Happy to make a proposal based on the specific number and type of musicians required! I handle all payments via my own user account and manually disburse compensation for all other artists. You will only have to pay once.
