About / Biography

Modern Live Strings & High-Energy Music for Bespoke Events I am a professional violinist, pianist, singer and DJ based in Brooklyn, specializing in contemporary soundtracks for luxury weddings and private functions. I provide a fresh, modern take on live instrumentation, moving seamlessly from elegant ceremony music to high-energy reception vibes.

My Specialties:

  • Contemporary Wedding Violin: Specializing in modern pop, cinematic soundtracks, and "Bridgerton-style" arrangements. I focus on soulful, play-along performances of today's hits and timeless standards, creating a romantic atmosphere without the stiff feel of traditional classical music.

  • Sophisticated Piano Lounge: From Neo-soul and Jazz to chilled-out pop covers, my piano sets provide the perfect backdrop for cocktail hours, art galleries, and upscale corporate mixers.

  • The Hybrid DJ Experience: For clients who want the best of both worlds, I offer a live Violin + DJ hybrid set. I can perform improvised "Club Violin" over house, Top 40, and tropical beats, bringing a unique, high-energy element to the dance floor. Packages are customizable if you would like to add or replace the violin with piano and / or live vocals.

The Professional Standard: I am a "plug-and-play" vendor, meaning I arrive fully prepared with high-end, self-contained equipment. I utilize Yamaha electric violins and a premium sound system to ensure studio-quality audio, whether I’m playing a quiet garden ceremony or a packed Brooklyn loft party.

What to Expect:

  • Seamless Transitions: I can cover your entire event, from your first walk down the aisle to the final dance of the night.

  • Custom Repertoire: I am happy to learn up to two modern song requests for your ceremony to ensure your wedding feels truly personal and can learn more songs and / or provide custom arrangements for an additional fee

  • Self-Sufficient Setup: I arrive 45-90 minutes early for sound checks (depending on how elaborate the setup) and require minimal footprint, allowing your event's aesthetic to take center stage.
