Q&A

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

unfold fold
My minimum fee is $500. Typically I can perform solo for up to 3 hours for that price. Because every project is different, I'm happy to provide custom price quotes tiered for up to a 3 piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.

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

unfold fold
Typically the customer will email me to start the conversation. We'll then schedule a quick call to go over specifics. From there, I will issue a contract and take a 50% deposit to hold the date. Any questions and follow up calls are welcomed once the date is confirmed. The balance is due on the day of the performance.

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

unfold fold
I was classically trained at Saginaw Valley State University, where I performed classical pieces in front of multiple juries throughout my time there.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
I have loved music ever since I learned the piano at the age of 6. I have dreamed of playing live music at restaurants and bars since that age. When I became old enough, I put dream into action by stepping into the live music scene.

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
- Wedding couples that want music for ceremony, cocktail hour and/or reception. I perform solo and with up to a 7 piece band. - Corporate event planners that need music entertainment for their specific events and parties. - Private party clients. These are typically celebrations like graduations, milestone birthday parties or just an excuse to get together with friends. Usually, I will perform in the client's home. Sometimes the client will rent a venue for the party. I'm open to whatever the client decides.

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

unfold fold
My favorite recent booking was a small birthday parrty performed at a country club. I provided live music for the celebration. It was really neat and laid back.

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

unfold fold
Since I perform private events on a weekly basis, I can offer my advice on anything from flow of events, length of performance and song selection.

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

unfold fold
The client should know their budget and confirm the venue where the event will take place before contacting me. I'm flexible, but these details help move the booking process along faster.
