My best and biggest gig to date was aboard the MSC Magnifica cruise ship, performing in a 3000 seat auditorium with a full live orchestra and singers. It was a fantastic large scale production experience.
Today my favourite work is more intimate: as a resident pianist for 5 star hotels in Madrid, creating a sophisticated and elegant luxury ambiance on grand piano for high end events. I love both worlds, the big stage and the intimate luxury setting.

My favourite type of event is a sophisticated luxury event where live piano adds true elegance. 5 star hotels, high end corporate receptions, VIP cocktail hours, and exclusive private parties.
I love creating a refined, warm and classy ambiance with elegant lounge, jazz standards and classical repertoire on grand piano, where guests can talk, connect and enjoy the moment with beautiful live music in the background.

I started playing piano as a child with classical training, and have been performing professionally for over 20 years.
Over the years i have built a versatile career focused on creating an elegant and memorable musical atmosphere.

I have been most influenced by classical masters like Chopin, Debussy and Beethoven and by elegant popular artists like Frank Sinatra, Elton John and Nat King Cole. They taught me that less is more elegance, touch and emotion. My favourite artist is Frank Sinatra, the ultimate reference for class, swing and sophisticated evenings.
For me the greatest song of all time is " What a Wonderful World". On solo piano it instantly creates that warm, luxurious and unforgettable atmosphere. In classical music, Debussy's Clair de Lune is pure perfection.

I was the resident pianist for one year at the prestigious 5 star hotel Yacht & Golf Club in Asuncion, Paraguay. I also completed a 6 month residency at le Moulin de Moissac in France and have performed in diverse luxury restaurants in Paris.
I am now based in Madrid performing for luxury weddings and private events.

Typical setup: I perform on the venue's acoustic grand piano or upright piano, which is ideal for a true luxury piano sound. I do not require bringing heavy equipment, so my setup is extremely clean, elegant and silent. I just need the pianoto be tunedand approximately 2 x2m space.
If the venue does not have a piano, i can arrange a professional digital piano and sound system for an additional rental fee- please let me know in advance.
Performance times: Fully flexible to fit your event schedule. My most requested format is 2 to 3 hours of elegant live background music ( for example 3 x 50 min sets with short breaks) I can adapt from 1 hour up to 5 hours for cocktails, dinners and receptions.

Yes, i am happy to perform outdoors, provided there is a suitable acoustic piano available or i can arrange a digital piano rental ( aditional fee).
For outdoor performances i just need: a flat, covered and shaded area to protect the instrument, access to power if using a digital piano and in case of bad weather or direct strong sunlight, an alternative indoor plan.

Clients absolutely have a say. My repertoire is fully flexible and customizable for your event.
I have a wide repertoire of elegant lounge, jazz standards, classical highlights and modern songs in luxury piano style, but i am always happy to learn special requests ( first dance, company anthem, favourite song) with advance notice and to adapt the style and volume to create the perfect atmosphere for your guests

Previous clients most commonly describe my performances as elegant, sophisticated and creating a true luxury atmosphere. They often mention that the music is perfectly balanced, present and beautiful but at the right volume to allow guests to talk comfortably.
I am often told that my playing adds a classy, warm and memorable touch to the event without being intrusive and that i am very professional, punctual and easy to work with.

I specialise in elegant and romantic music: classical, jazz, bossa nova and sophisticated pop covers. I adapt the repertoire to your event, creting a refined atmosphere for cocktails, dinners, and ceremonies without overpowering conversation
