Introduction

"A young performer musically wise beyond his years, adding a touch of soul to all of your Pop, Rock, R&B favorites." 🎸🎶🎸🎤🎶🎹 This is just one of the many positive comments I have gotten, I like to play older music (60's, 70's, & 80's) with a touch of modern pop songs thrown in. Most people are surprised when they hear a 23-year old playing and singing all of their favorite hits from back in the day! I have been performing music live professionally for over 10 years (since I was in High School... Yes, for real). I am a recent graduate of Berklee College of Music and have been trained by some of the best musicians in the world. I play solo acoustic (Vocals with Guitar or Piano) and can also put together up to a 7 piece band to meet any needs your event may have. Please reach out to me with any inquiries and questions, I would love to provide a price quote and help you create the event you are envisioning!

Q&A

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

I have a standard fee for solo performance for three hours. Because every project is different, I'm happy to provide custom price quotes tiered for up to a 7-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?

Usually the customer will email me first and then from there we will schedule a quick call to go over logistics. After that I will issue out a contract and will ask for a 50% deposit to hold the date, then the balance is due the day of the performance. Any questions and follow up calls are always welcomed once the date is confirmed.

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

I have a degree in Contemporary Writing and Production from Berklee College of Music as well as more than 10 years of professional performing experience.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

My Mother is a Singer and Performer as well, so I started young! I've been performing at clubs, bars, and private events since before I entered High School.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I've worked with people from all walks of life! The main types of clients I work with are wedding couples, private event planners, and private party clients.

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

A recent wedding I did was in the upstairs of one of the oldest Bars and buildings in New York City. We put everything together within about a week! Usually I don't book anything farther out than 6 months, but most events are within 1 week to 3 months in advance.

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

Since I have so much experience performing at many different types of events over the past ten years, I am always happy offer to 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?

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.
