Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I just need a small, quiet space to perform—about 5x5 feet is perfect.
Access to a standard power outlet is helpful but not always required, as I often perform acoustically.
Please ensure there’s minimal background noise during the moment of surprise.


What information do you require about a venue?

Please let me know if it's indoors or outdoors, any gate codes or special instructions for entry, and whether parking is nearby.
If it’s a business, office, or restaurant, please include the name it’s under and any front desk or staff contacts to coordinate the surprise.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes! I bring a small, portable speaker for backing tracks when needed and perform live guitar and vocals.
No lighting is needed for most gigs, but I can adjust based on the vibe if you're planning something more formal or evening-based.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Singing telegrams are typically short performances, so background music isn't included by default.
However, I can provide a Spotify playlist or light DJ-style background music for an added fee — especially helpful for parties, proposals, or corporate settings where you want to set the mood before or after the main event.

Let me know in advance if you'd like to add this service and we’ll tailor it to your vibe!

Frequently Asked Questions

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

It’s hard to choose just one — every telegram is meaningful. I recently performed for a proposal that left everyone in tears (including me), and those moments stay with you. Another standout was surprising the manager at Trader Joe’s in Glendale — the whole store turned into a full-blown concert, with customers and staff cheering like it was a festival. I’ve also written custom songs for 90-year-old twins and for a 75th wedding anniversary. These are the kinds of memories I live for.


What's your favourite type of event?

I love events that create true emotional impact — whether it’s laughter, happy tears, or both. Every telegram is a chance to help someone feel loved and celebrated. I enjoy the high-energy chaos just as much as the quiet, heartfelt ones. Helping people make those special moments… that’s what makes me feel special, too.


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

I started doing singing telegrams after going through a divorce — I needed work that allowed me to be with my kids more. It began as an experiment, but it quickly became my calling. Before that, I was a children’s ministry worship leader and a gymnastics coach, so performance, energy, and connection have always been part of my life.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

One song that hits me deep is “I’ll Be There For You” by The Pretenders — something about the rawness and devotion in it always lands hard. My musical influences are broad, from emotional ballads to upbeat crowd-pleasers, but I’m most drawn to songs that mean something — songs that help people feel.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Most performances are 3–7 minutes of high-impact, heartfelt fun — short, sweet, and unforgettable. I usually arrive about 3–7 minutes beforehand to stay hidden and coordinate the surprise. For special requests (like custom songs or extended moments), I’m happy to adjust timing as needed.

Do you ever do longer performances (15+ min or mini-concert style)? Want that mentioned?


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes — I love performing outside! All I ask is that it’s not during heavy rain or extreme heat. Shade is helpful, and a flat space is ideal. Outdoor performances in parks, patios, or driveways are always welcome and often extra memorable.


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

Absolutely! I offer a core list of songs to choose from, but I also take requests in advance and even write fully custom songs for an extra fee. If you're planning something specific (like a romantic message, inside joke, or a favorite genre), we can make it uniquely yours.

Want me to list a few sample song choices here? Like “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” “We Are the Champions,” etc.?


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients often describe my performances as heartfelt, hilarious, and high-energy. People say it’s like getting hit with a wave of joy, love, and laughter — sometimes tears. Whether I’m serenading a couple, honoring a retiree, or cracking up a birthday crowd, the feedback is almost always:
“That was absolutely unforgettable.”

Anything people say to you often? Like “you made my day,” “I’ve never seen them smile like that,” or “best surprise ever”?
