Introduction

Singing is the joy of my life! I love to see people's faces light up in response to my songs! Do you enjoy singers in the style of Harry Connick Jr, Michael Buble', Tony Bennet or Frank Sinatra? If so ,you will love my music. It was fun being a headliner for top resorts in Arizona and Texas including Victoria Palms, Towerpoint, Sun Life and many others. Just ask, and I will send you recordings of my singing. I love to entertain ! See my reviews!

Q&A

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

unfold fold
I deliver a quality show for less cost than many Bands or artists. Do you want lots of just OK musicians or singers , or one real pro quality entertainer?

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

unfold fold
It starts with an email or phone call. I prefer a phone call. contact me via Thumbtack, provide your phone number or email, and I will get back to you. We will discus your preferences, such as program length. Please know that if your event is a long distance from Vancouver , Wa there may be an additional charge for travel. I have done shows as far away as South Padre Island Texas. But there has to be enough in the budget to cover transportation cost and time. Higher rates may apply for very long distance events. For ticketed concerts my fee will be a minimum charge or a percentage of the ticket sakes, whichever is greater. Please call for details.

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

unfold fold
I studied voice with private lessons. But I have learned more from experience. Singing is an art. Years of performances have taught me the skill to really communicate the feeling of the song, not just produce the correct notes.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
It has been a lifetime experience, starting younger than I can remember.

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
I have worked with Private Parties, Resorts, Fund Raisers, County Fairs, Community Celebrations, Rodeos, Churches, Veterans Organizations, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Marketing Events, Festivals, Parades and more.

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

unfold fold
I am fond of all the events I sing for. That is because I LOVE to sing, entertain, and interact with the audience. Once I am there I take the time that is needed to provide a good musical experience.

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

unfold fold
Before you hire a singer be sure to ACTUALLY HEAR them sing. If not in person, listen to a recording. It is easy to list all kinds of fluff, but when the event is taking place what matters is how well do they perform. Look out for the ones who talk a good game but fall down on vocal quality.

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

unfold fold
What songs do they want to hear , either by specific name or general style? What is the length of performance time? Are there any other unique or special musical emphasis they prefer?
