About / Biography

I'm LOLAH, a lifelong trained musician, professional music producer and MBA graduate, and the founder of LOLAH Entertainment, a boutique high-end entertainment firm based in San Jose, California. I perform at luxury weddings, corporate galas and private celebrations throughout Silicon Valley, Napa Valley and the Greater Bay Area.

What sets my service apart is the Signature Hybrid: I open your cocktail hour as a live singer and guitarist with soulful acoustic sets, then transition seamlessly into a high-energy professional DJ set for the reception. One performer, one setup, and an atmosphere that moves with your event from heartfelt to dance floor without a gap.

Lineups I offer:

  • The Solo Set: live vocals and guitar, curated for ceremonies, cocktail hours and intimate dinners
  • - DJ Services: bespoke playlists, professional mixing and MC hosting
  • - The Signature Hybrid: live acoustic sets flowing into a full DJ reception
  • - The Full Ensemble: my band, LOLAH & The Travelers, for full-scale live productions

Every booking includes premium sound, wireless microphones and synchronized lighting (uplights, moving heads and lasers available). My exclusive Live Jukebox lets your guests request songs from my repertoire in real time from their phones, so everyone feels part of the night.

I perform Top 40, pop, rock, country, funk, soul, R&B and dance, and I'm bilingual in English and Vietnamese, which lets me bridge cultures for international and multicultural celebrations. I'm trusted by Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Intuit, CBS and Fox, and I've performed at The Mountain Winery, Filoli, Bardessono Hotel, Nickel & Nickel and Hotel Villagio, entertaining everything from private dinners of 25 to festival crowds of 30,000+.

I'm known for reading the room. Tell me your vision and I'll curate the set list, coordinate with your planner and venue, and handle the production so your planning stays stress-free and your guests stay on the dance floor.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

For the solo or hybrid setup I need a level performance area of roughly 10 x 10 feet, one standard 120V outlet within 50 feet (two dedicated circuits for full lighting), and one parking space near the load-in point. For LOLAH & The Travelers, plan on a 16 x 12 foot stage area, two dedicated 20-amp circuits and parking for three vehicles. Outdoor events need cover from direct sun and rain for me and the gear. I typically arrive 60 to 90 minutes before start time.


What information do you require about a venue?

Please send the venue address, the name of the day-of contact, load-in directions and where I can park, whether there are stairs or an elevator, and whether the performance space is indoors or outdoors. I also need to know about any sound limiter, noise curfew or power restrictions, the timeline for the day, and if the venue has an in-house AV team I should coordinate with.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, I'm fully self-contained. I bring a premium sound system (Bose L1 Pro, QSC and JBL speakers, scaled to your guest count), wireless microphones for toasts and announcements, and synchronized lighting: uplights, a Chauvet lighting bar, and moving heads or lasers on request. For larger productions I can coordinate with your venue's AV team or bring additional gear.


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

Yes. I provide curated background music before, between and after every set, and as a professional DJ I can also run a full DJ set after live music instead of a playlist. My Live Jukebox add-on lets your guests request songs from my repertoire in real time from their phones. You can share a must-play and do-not-play list, or leave the soundtrack to me.


Can you MC and coordinate with my planner and venue?

Yes. Emcee service is included with my DJ and hybrid packages: I handle announcements, introductions and timeline cues with a wireless mic. Before the event we do a planning meeting, and on the day I coordinate directly with your planner, venue and any in-house AV team so the flow stays stress-free for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Performing at The Mountain Winery in Saratoga is hard to top: that amphitheater stage with the valley behind the crowd is unforgettable. Filoli and the Napa Valley estates (Bardessono, Nickel & Nickel, Hotel Villagio) are close behind. On the other end of the scale, I've played festival stages for 30,000+ people, and intimate private dinners for 25.


What's your favourite type of event?

Weddings, without question. I get to be there for the whole arc of the day: soulful acoustic songs for the ceremony and cocktail hour, then switching to the DJ decks and watching the dance floor fill up. Corporate galas are a close second because the production is bigger and the rooms are full of people who want to celebrate a great year.


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

I've been trained as a musician my whole life and I produce my own original music from my studio in San Jose. I started performing at venues and private events across the Bay Area, and over the years built LOLAH Entertainment into a boutique firm serving luxury weddings and corporate clients such as Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Intuit, CBS and Fox. I also front my band, LOLAH & The Travelers, and I carry an MBA, so the business side of your event is handled as carefully as the music.


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

I appreciate every genre, but my favorites run in this order: pop, rock, country, funk, dance, hip hop and EDM. As a songwriter I'm fascinated by blending genres, so my original music lands in indie pop-rock with a rock 'n' roll vibe and soulful modern vocals. My cover sets are built on Top 40 pop and rock with country, funk, soul and R&B mixed in. Greatest song of all time? Whichever one gets the whole dance floor singing the chorus back at me.


Do you perform in languages other than English?

Yes. I'm bilingual in English and Vietnamese and perform original music in both. I've been featured on Vietnamese media including VTV3 and YanTV, so I can bridge cultures for multicultural and international celebrations. My cover repertoire also includes Spanish-language and Latin favorites.


What types of clients do you work with?

Luxury weddings, corporate galas and private celebrations across Silicon Valley, Napa Valley and the Greater Bay Area. I'm trusted by Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Intuit, CBS and Fox, and I perform regularly at estates and venues such as The Mountain Winery, Filoli, Bardessono Hotel, Nickel & Nickel and Hotel Villagio. I've entertained everything from 25-guest private dinners to 30,000-person festival crowds.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I arrive 60 to 90 minutes before the first note to set up sound and lighting and do a quiet soundcheck. My solo sets are flexible: anywhere from a 15-minute ceremony to a 2-hour cocktail hour, usually 45 to 60-minute sets with curated background music in between. For the Signature Hybrid I typically sing during the ceremony and cocktail hour, then DJ the reception for up to 5 hours or a full day. LOLAH & The Travelers usually play 2 x 45 or 2 x 60-minute sets. Timing is built around your event flow, not the other way around.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, a lot of my favorite events are outdoors, from garden ceremonies to Napa Valley estates. I ask for shade or cover for me and the equipment, a flat level surface, and power within about 50 feet of the performance area. If a location has no power, let me know in advance and we can plan around it.


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

You have a real say. Share your must-play songs, do-not-play list and the vibe you're going for, and I'll curate the set around it. I'm happy to learn a few special requests, such as a first-dance song or a family favorite, and my Live Jukebox feature lets guests request songs from my repertoire in real time from their phones. If you'd rather leave it all to me, I read the room and build the soundtrack as the night unfolds.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

The three things clients mention most: a beautiful, soulful voice that elevates the whole atmosphere; professional, punctual and easy to work with; and a real ability to read the room and get people dancing. Reviewers call me a party starter, and more than one has said the performance made the night. That's exactly what I aim for.


What is the Signature Hybrid?

It's my most-booked package and the reason clients hire me over a separate band and DJ. I open your ceremony and cocktail hour as a live singer and guitarist with soulful acoustic sets, then step behind the decks for a high-energy DJ reception. One performer, one setup, one contract, and the energy of the room moves seamlessly from heartfelt to dance floor without a handoff.


What is the Live Jukebox?

My exclusive add-on that turns your guests into co-DJs. They scan a code, browse my repertoire from their phone and request songs in real time. I weave the requests into the set as they fit, so everyone feels included and the dance floor stays full. Clients tell me it's one of the details guests remember most.
