**"Highlighting My Most Memorable Gigs...**

I've been fortunate to perform at numerous exceptional events, but two stand out as truly unforgettable.
Firstly, collaborating with rising international artist Qwasi Slymer Francis at Houtbay Villa was a career highlight - a joyous experience filled with motivation and invaluable lessons.
Another gig that still takes my breath away was at Camps Bay, where the stage was perched atop a stunning venue overlooking the ocean and majestic mountains. With the audience dancing near the pool below, I felt utterly exhilarated - as if performing at the pinnacle of the world!"

**"My Favorite Types of Events? ALL OF THEM! 😊**
From romantic weddings to sleek corporate gatherings, lively jazz festivals to intimate private parties - I thrive in every musical setting!
Each event offers a unique energy and challenge, allowing me to tailor my performances to create unforgettable experiences for audiences of all kinds.
Whether it's love, celebration, networking, or pure entertainment - my music adapts to make every occasion truly special!"

My gigging career began at Casablanca Bar in Woodstock, where I took a bold step into the live music scene.
**Facing the Unknown:**
- I started performing at open mic nights every Thursday, facing intimidating crowds and fierce competition.
- Rejection was common, with some nights ending in silence or harsh criticism - yet I persevered.
- Financial struggles were real; I often played for exposure rather than pay, investing my own resources into equipment and marketing.
**Turning Points:**
- Consistency paid off: regular open mic appearances helped me hone my craft and build a loyal following.
- Positive feedback from audiences and industry professionals boosted my confidence and motivation.
- My big break came when Casablanca Bar offered me a regular gig - a turning point that launched my career into bookings and collaborations.

Bill withers - Sunshine for me is the greatest song of his , his contrasting jazz style and the highlight in his music soothes the tastes in my ear drums. Frank Sinatra Iconic legend with songs such as Killing me softly, fly me to the moon. Tom Jones one of the artist I admire the most as well, with beautiful rendition such as I'll never fall in love. And Most important of all John Coultrane, my inspiration in technical ability to face music freely, he teaches me that it's all about having fun

I arrive an hour or 30 minutes before the performance setup. There is no limit to how long I can play because I'm sort of a practice geek , sometimes I do love to test out the results of my constant practice that never actually show until certain transitions. But my sets usually 2x 45 minutes, 30 minutes, 4x 45 minutes with breaks inbetween

I have played outside quite a number of times before but on some occasions I do ask for a shade like a small tent or my favourite long umbrellas, they hit the spot!.

The clients can request songs but that must be before the even so I can include them in my set, sometimes I don't prepare sets , I go and become a musician by reading my audience, playing what would suit the mood better

The phrasing I never get tired of is " Beautiful performance"
