Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

A medium-high bench for me to sit, Good audio, mic stand, mic and cables. (I would still bring my own audio, mic stand, mic and cables + instruments but if the venue already has it set up then it's better this way, specially if it is a bigger venue).

Good lighting at least for me

1 Parking space (I would confirm if going by car before the event).


What information do you require about a venue?

Directions via waze or google maps, the expected amount of people they can fit and they expect to come and the times of opening/closuere


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Sound I can bring (Bose S1 Pro Plus which goes perfectly for a small/medium space if everyone is talking very low). Lighting I would not bring.


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

I can put my own playlists depending on the vibe of the venue and try to vibe with them so that everyone has a good time (usually I'm more into latino parties but I can also do chill music if the vibe is more like talking), that would be 30 euros more. Although I'm not DJ so, that would only be a Spotify service and if there's someone that can do the job then I would prefer that.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I come from Costa Rica so, one of the best I had in terms of it being known and the amount of people that were there was at "Peppers Club" in San José. Also in the Netherlands, I've played in De Doelen Studio in Rotterdam, and at this moment it has not happened yet but I have a gig in the Hard Rock Café in Amsterdam set up for March 6th.


What's your favourite type of event?

I like it when people come open to listen and take it all in. It's okay to play in different sets where people are drinking and eating, but I prefer to have their full attention for a while and then let them have more fun after the show. It's okay if it is a small venue or a big one, I always try to enjoy it the fullest.


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

I am an singer songwriter artist so everytime almost everytime I've performed live has been because I was showcasing my own music and that's my main goal with this: to let people know my music is outhere and grow more my fanbase. Being said that, I've also played in restaurants sets specially focused in covers in spanish language, specially songs very known for Latinos that go from balads, reggaeton, salsa and others.

I also have a cover set in english and italian as I speak them both fluently. I will always include my own music in between as that is part of what I do.


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

Leonel Garcia, Sin Bandera, REIK, Camilo, Nathy Peluso, Residente, Bad Bunny, Maluma, Marc Anthony, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Joss Stone.

Favorite artist? Tough. Leonel Garcia for me is the best writer and vocal artist, but Bad Bunny is right now the biggest showman. Joss Stone would be the biggest female vocal artist.

Greatest song of all time? Wuao. Big statement here haha. I could say a lot but I will go with "LOOSE YOURSELF" from Eminem.


Background about me

I am from Costa Rica, I am currently living in the Netherlands and I am willing to play trhoughout Europe, specially in those places where they want to be in touch with the latin vibes that I bring.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Average set up time: 15-20 min

Performance time: Average: 2 hours with 15 min break. (You can ask for less or more time if needed)


Are you happy to perform outside?

Sure, if it is not raining or preferably to have maybe a little awning.
With my equipment I can even be without any connections around and be wireless.


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

It is a set repertoire, as I mostly use already-work-on backing tracks for the songs, but you can ask for specific songs previously and I would try to rehearse and have them ready for the show.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

With lots of Latin Vibes, incredible voice, chill and relaxed but and if I do more Latin Party sets then it is more energetic and perfect for dancing some salsa and bachata!
