Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My clients love my professionalism and enthusiasm. I am reliable, and very passionate in making sure I am catering to the clients needs. I will go the extra mile to make sure you have a bespoke and personalised musical performance which will make the event even more memorable.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

In the past, I have been very fortunate to have performed in some very prestigious venues, such as; Hampton Court Palace, The Royal Festival Hall, The Barbican Centre, Westminster Abbey, Cadogan Hall, The Fazioli Factory Concert Hall in Southern Italy, and there are many more! I was even chosen personally to perform cocktail piano for HRH Prince Charles.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

As I am a very versatile musician, I have been influenced by many artists! Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughn are some of my favourite jazz vocalists. As I trained as a classical pianist, I love Chopin, Rachmaninov, Beethoven, Schubert and Liszt. But, I also love Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Queen, and Prince!

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Being chosen personally to perform dinner music for HRH Prince Charles, Camilla, and the 54 Heads of State of the Commonwealth was by far my most high profile gig! I was flown out to Sri Lanka in 2013 for this event which was such a wonderful and memorable experience. I performed light classics including Debussy, Chopin, and Beethoven as they dined!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

If your timings change after you have booked me for an event, please get in touch straight away and we can discuss the new timings.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, I can provide music from an iPod for in between sets catered to the music of your choice.

How much time do you need to set up?

Depending on whether I am singing, or playing piano depends on how much time I will need. If I am just playing piano, I will need around 30 minutes to arrive before and make sure every thing is working correctly. If I am singing and playing piano on a keyboard, I will need up to 1 hour before I am due to start to set up.

If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?

Absolutely! If there is a piano (that works!) at your venue, it will be easier for me to just arrive and play that rather than bringing a keyboard.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Yes! My set lists that you can view on my page are a general idea of my versatility when performing. My piano repertoire is also quite different to the one I have posted on Encore, as that is more of a vocal set list. I am happy to chat through and make sure we can find what works for your event.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes. I have a lovely Nord Electro keyboard. If there is a piano at the venue, I would usually use that, however I can bring my own instrument to play acoustically.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If there is a song that isn't on my song list, there is still a chance I know it! Please get in touch and I will be happy to do this for you!
