Q&A

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

My pricing varies based on a few key details, like the location of your event, the date and time, the length of the performance, and any specific equipment needs. Every event is a little different, so I like to keep things flexible to make sure I’m giving you the best value for your budget.

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

I like to keep things simple and stress-free! A quick phone call is the best way to get started. It helps me understand your event’s unique needs—whether it’s the type of music you’re looking for, equipment requirements, or any special song requests to make your event truly spectacular. From there, we can lock down the details, and you can sit back while I handle the soundtrack to your celebration.

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

I’ve been a self-taught musician for most of my life, with nearly 25 years of experience performing at events and venues of all types and sizes. From intimate private parties to large corporate events, I’ve had the privilege of playing for all kinds of audiences. You could say my best training has been real-world experience—honing my craft by playing live, reading the crowd, and making sure each event has the perfect soundtrack.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

It all started back in college, when I’d break out my guitar at parties and play a few songs. From there, I started to play at local bars, and before I knew it, I was performing at private events like weddings, parties, and corporate gatherings. What began as something fun quickly grew into a passion for creating memorable experiences through music.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I’ve had the pleasure of working with all kinds of people and performing in a variety of settings—from lively bars and private parties to weddings and professional corporate events. Whether it’s a laid-back gathering or a formal celebration, I’m comfortable adapting to any crowd and creating the right atmosphere. I’ve learned that every audience is unique, and part of the fun is making sure the music resonates with whoever’s in the room.

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

I can’t say there’s one particular event that stands out, but I really enjoy performing live in all kinds of scenarios. Each event brings its own energy, and it’s always fun to connect with people through music. There’s something great about seeing people relax, sing along, and just have a good time. Whether it’s a small gathering or a larger celebration, it’s always a privilege to help create unforgettable moments with music.

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

My best advice is to talk with the musician before booking. It's important to make sure they’re a good fit for your event and that they understand your vision. Whether it's the type of music, vibe, or specific details like song requests or equipment needs, a quick conversation can go a long way in ensuring everything runs smoothly and your event is exactly how you imagined it. After all, the right soundtrack can make all the difference.

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

Before reaching out, it’s helpful to think about the vibe you want for your event, any specific song requests or genres, and the length of the performance. Consider what equipment might be needed and what your budget is, so you can ensure the musician can meet your expectations. Having these details in mind will help make the conversation more productive and ensure everything aligns for your event.
