Introduction

Soulful, Feel-Good Music For Corporate Events, Private Parties, and Weddings – From an Award-Winning Recording Artist and Songwriter. Learn how every performance is uniquely crafted to match your vision, making your event truly one-of-a-kind. So you can worry less about the entertainment and more about creating unforgettable moments With over 20 years of experience in the music industry, I know exactly how to read the room and play the perfect song at the perfect moment. Within the last year, I’ve performed at over 200 successful events hosted by some of the largest brands in the world. Helping brands like Marriott, Disney, House of Blues, and SeaWorld realize their mission and vision for live entertainment has been incredible. In a recent interview with CanvasRebel Magazine, I spoke about creating unforgettable moments for my clients. “At the heart of it all, I strive to create art that moves you, emotionally and physically. Whether through a custom song that tells your story or a live performance that brings people together. My brand is about authenticity, creativity, and offering experiences beyond the surface.” Let's discuss your unique needs, pricing, and availability. I serve Central Florida and beyond.

Q&A

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

There are no discounts offered at this time. The cost of live music for a corporate or private event can vary depending on the size of the event, the number of musicians or performers, and the type of music you would like to have. I will work with you to determine a budget that fits your needs and expectations.

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

Usually, customers initiate contact by sending Derek an email to kickstart the conversation. Following this, we'll arrange a brief call to discuss the specific details. Afterward, Derek will provide you with a contract, and to secure the date, a 50% deposit will be required. Feel free to reach out with any questions or for follow-up calls once the date is confirmed. The remaining balance will be due on the day of the performance.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

With over two decades of experience, Derek's professionalism and dedication are unmatched. He's not just an artist; he's a music industry expert.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Derek has performed at festivals for thousands, Disney, House of Blues, toured with national acts, private and corporate events, weddings, intimate engagement and Birthday parties, restaurants, bars, resorts, hotels, and just about anywhere he can bring his passion for music and entertainment. He's a true artist and storyteller.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Every event has a unique personality. Your live music choice should always align with your event's ambiance, mood, and vibe. Consider what may resonate most with your audience. From an intimate gathering to an energetic corporate function, Derek is the professional entertainer who will set the perfect tone by blending different music genres, while offering a cost-effective alternative to a traditional band.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What is your budget for the live music experience? What is the desired length and location of your event? What specific musical style or sound are you looking for? Are there any specific songs you'd like to request for the performance? Do you have any additional requests, such as an extra mic for announcements or a playlist for when the musician is not performing?
