About / Biography

I'm a young musician with a lot of experience playing in orchestras, bands, small ensembles, and solos. In addition to being able to play a lot of instruments, I am an accomplished composer/arranger with originals and adaptations for any occasion.

  • Versatile Repetoire: Classical, Romantic, Fiddle, Folk, Irish, Scottish, Texas, Bluegrass, Jazz, Ragtime – I can fit the style needed.
  • Custom Arrangements: If you want a custom version of a piece you like, I'm happy to adapt it for the event.
  • Impromptu Style: I'm exceptionally good at preludes or postludes as background for any occasion, and I make a good improviser.

I offer singles on violin and piano, preludes and postludes on the organ or piano, and I am more than happy to play in an ensemble.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I take up as little space as possible, with no chairs, and I bring a stand. A violin isn't particularly loud, so for a larger audience I would need a microphone and a way to connect to the sound system.


What information do you require about a venue?

I need the name and address of the venue and some small spot to fit my case and gear. Once there, you can direct me to where I'll be playing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I played violin for the show "Hello, Dolly!" at the Scera Shell musical theater in Orem, in the pit orchestra backstage. Such a great show with fun music, with an orchestra reveal at the end that was rather rewarding every time.


What's your favourite type of event?

I appreciate many different events, but I like best to play in an authentic ensemble for weddings, balls, and private events.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I've had the opportunity to play in local bands, choirs, orchestras, and other ensembles that got me hooked on music. My violin teacher started me off on gigging when she needed a rest from playing, and since then I've loved getting to play for whatever I can.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

If an acoustic solo performance is desired, I typically set up in less than 5 minutes. If you want me hooked up to a sound system, then I'll arrive about 30 minutes early.
I typically perform two or so 40 minute sets, but can stretch it either way to suit the audience.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I'm happy to play outside, as long as conditions aren't damaging to instruments. I avoid conditions with snow, rain, and temperatures below 50 Fahrenheit.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I make for a good sight–reader and can play just about anything thrown at me, but I typically arrange most of the music. If you want a custom arrangement of a specific piece for the event, I charge from $10 to $60 depending on complexity.
