Then i have 8 Original songs in french in the style of World Reggae spiritual music
My technical requirements are simple and can be adapted to the event. For most performances, I need a small performance space, i don't even need access to power outler as i have a busking amplifier. The only limitation i have is that my PA can only cover 60watt so about a venue of 50 people max. If more, then it would be better if i can plug myself to a PA system
If sound amplification is needed, this can be discussed depending on the venue size and event type.
I like to know the exact location, access details, parking availability, setup area, performance timing, and whether there are any sound restrictions or volume limits. It is also helpful to know if the performance will be indoors or outdoors, the approximate number of guests, and the general atmosphere you would like to create. If there is a possibility to plug to a bigger PA System if number of guest exceed 50 people
I can provide a simple sound setup for small and intimate events when needed. For larger events, sound equipment can be discussed depending on the venue, audience size, and technical requirements. I do not provide lighting, but I am happy to work with the venue’s equipment or a professional event production team if required.
Yes, I can provide background music between sets to help maintain a warm and enjoyable atmosphere. This can be discussed in advance depending on the event format and technical setup.
I played in The moulin d'abondance festival in france. In Nomadidge Festival, in "La cabanne aux mille boisson which is a new venue in Vosges. I played il "La maison de l'Oradou" which is a music trampoline for french artist
I especially enjoy private events, intimate gatherings, retreats and community celebrations. I originally started performing in the street, which taught me how to adapt to many different settings and connect easily with all kinds of people. I love events where live music helps create a warm, joyful and memorable atmosphere.
I started performing music on the streets of New Zealand in 2012. That experience taught me how to connect with people quickly, adapt to different audiences and create a genuine live moment anywhere. Since then, I have continued developing my work as a live performer, bringing acoustic, soulful and uplifting music to a variety of events and settings.
I have been influenced by artists such as Xavier Rudd, Francis Cabrel, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley and Marcus Gad. I love music that is heartfelt, uplifting and deeply human. It is difficult to choose one favourite artist or one greatest song of all time, but these artists have strongly shaped my musical world and the atmosphere I bring to my performances.
My setup is usually simple and efficient. For most events, I need around 20 minutes to set up, depending on the venue and technical requirements. (mainly i need just guitare / Voice and i have everything on my busking Amp. Performance times can be adapted to the event. I can play up to 3 hours. But I typically offer 2 sets of 45 to 60 minutes, depending if the host want to include my original song or wants only cover songs
Yes, I am happy to perform outside and I enjoy outdoor events very much. I simply ask for a suitable flat space, protection from heavy rain or strong direct sun when possible, and access to power if amplification is needed. Outdoor performances can create a beautiful, relaxed and memorable atmosphere.
Yes, clients are very welcome to share their preferences and the kind of atmosphere they would like for their event. I have my own repertoire and style, but I am happy to adapt the mood and flow of the performance to suit the occasion. If discussed in advance, I can also consider a few specific song requests when appropriate. I have a phone holder on my guitare and i can play live some requested song if i know the song
Previous clients often describe my performances as warm, heartfelt, joyful and uplifting. They appreciate the human connection, the relaxed atmosphere and the way the music helps people feel present, comfortable and connected during the event.
Yes, absolutely. I can adapt my performance to suit a wide range of events, from intimate private gatherings and weddings to retreats, depending on the sound system. I can power for up to 50 people gathering. Higher i will need extra PA system to be plugged in. Outdoor celebrations, community events and relaxed festival settings. My goal is always to match the atmosphere you would like to create.
I can perform either fully acoustic or with a simple amplified setup, depending on the venue, audience size and event format. This can be discussed in advance to find the best option for your event.
