I put my heart and soul into the music of Frank Sinatra and the Standards era to bring class and sophistication to an event. I love creating a mood for my customers by presenting a broad selection of Sinatra-style music. My repertoire is over 450 songs deep, primarily from the Rat Pack era - Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Bobby Darin, Perry Como, Andy Williams, and the like. I also have over 90 minutes of Italian-themed music, much of it with Italian lyrics. And if your tastes veer toward the contemporary, I have selections from Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Michael Buble, and others.
My job is to entertain, and when the audience is happy and enjoying themselves, I'm thrilled! I put a lot of thought a preparation into each job to make sure everyone has a good time. So in reality, my job is to make people happy, and that's awesome!
