Yes, I can supply background music via iTunes between my sets to maintain ambience. This service can be included upon request and requires access to the venue's sound system.

One of my best gigs was in 2017 at the Miss Soweto beauty pageant. There was a full live orchestra, my name on the big screen, and the most magical acoustic performance I've ever done.

I love intimate, soulful events where I can truly connect with people through song and piano and create a beautiful atmosphere.

I started gigging with a passion for music and performance, especially as a pianist and singer. I've had experience in various venues. Marriott Marquis Hotel in Doha, Qatar being my most recent gig where i was resident pianist/singer at a five-star restaurant called New York Steak House.

I have a deep appreciation for gospel and jazz music. I'm inspired by anyone who can play piano and sing. Laufey and Nina Simone are two of my favorites right now and a Billie Holiday or Billie Joel piano piece is always timeless.

I perform as a piano and vocal soloist, which creates an intimate, elegant atmosphere. Collaborations with other musicians can also be arranged upon request.

Yes, I am flexible. Clients can request specific songs prior to event for practicing purposes but I also have a set list of prepared pieces that I perform.

Clients often describe my performances as classy, soulful and versatile. With piano and vocals that connect deeply bringing heartfelt performances that feel effortless leaving a lasting impression and is easily adaptable to the mood, whether intimate or large-scale events.

I recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance to secure your date and allow time to tailor the setlist to your event.
