Special Events and Weddings
I love playing all types of events, especially ones where I can just let go and bring a mix of of all my musical influences to the stage . I’m definitely a reactionary performer who feeds on the energy generated by the interaction with an audience. From 5 to 50,000 people…I can do it intimately or give it a Madison Square Garden vibe.
I’ve toured the USA, Europe, The Netherlands, Canada and all of Indonesia.
I started with small jazz clubs, went on International tours as a soloist and dancer, got picked up by Rap, Pop, and Jazz groups.
In between playing a Royal Wedding or Two…I’ve played political events, private parties, and literally every possible performance style.

Stevie Wonder for Musical diversity ❤️
“The Greatest Love of All”is a favorite song!
I am a total performer who Sings, Plays 30 instruments, Dances , and Leads Ensembles from 2-20 people.
My performances can be as subtle or bombastic as you need.
I’m a true musical shape shifter from Blues and Jazz, to Broadway to Funk, to Pop and beyond…
I combine the energy of Prince, Stevie Wonder, TSOP, and can bring the urban energy of hip hop like groups over worked with like the Roots, Lil Kim, and other urban artists. Just unleash me and enjoy ❤️
I have over 4 octaves in my Voice and am the king of High Notes. My Violin playing can be extremely bluesy and Soulful and I tailor make all my effects . So you will literally never hear the same sound any where 🎬
We like to arrive 2 hrs before performance
Set up equipment and allow the instruments to adjust to the settings. Perform 2 x 40 minute sets. Playing streamed before and in between sets..
Yes
As long as there is shelter from rain and direct sun, a power source, and access to safety in case of storms.
I absolutely can accommodate request.
I ask that song request are provided early to give the best presentation. But I’m flexible and can learn most songs fairly quickly. Let’s keep it to songs that reflect the ensemble hired. Like if you want a duet performance…use my package that includes a female vocalist.
Most clients describe my performances as electrifying, happy, exciting, soulful and full of energy
