Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

"I’m currently a solo act keeping things simple and acoustic — so no lighting or full PA system yet, but I’m happy to adapt to whatever setup you have


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

es, I can play a Spotify playlist before, during breaks, and after my sets if needed. I usually use my phone or laptop and can connect to your sound system — or mine if provided. You’re also welcome to send me a preferred playlist, or I can curate background music to suit the vibe of the event

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I'm just starting out professionally, so I haven’t played official gigs yet — but I’ve been performing regularly at open mics, small gatherings, and private sessions to build experience


What's your favourite type of event?

I enjoy performing at all types of events, but restaurants are definitely my favourite. I love creating a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere where people can enjoy good food and music at the same time. It’s always rewarding to be part of that vibe."


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

I started gigging whilst at university and playing at family gatherings


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

Laurika Rauch: As a young kid, Laurika Rauch’s music has always given me that nostalgic feeling — her songs carry a timeless warmth and emotion that really stuck with me growing up and the greatest song of all time has to be "Stille Waters" by Laurika

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

My typical performance consists of 2 sets of 45 minutes each, usually with a 15–20 minute break in between. I aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start time to set up and do a quick soundcheck.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, I’m happy to perform outside! I just like to check in advance if there’s any sound equipment or power available and what the weather conditions might be, so I can come prepared


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

"I’m happy to tailor my setlist to suit the client’s preferences, whether they want specific songs or a particular vibe. I also have a core repertoire that I draw from, but I’m always open to requests and making the music fit the occasion.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients most commonly describe my performances as very emotional and authentic, appreciating the raw acoustic vibe and the connection I create through my music
