Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I need a suitable performance area with access to a standard power socket nearby. Space requirements depend on the lineup and equipment, and we can agree these before booking. For outdoor performances, a dry, sheltered area and a safe power supply are required.


What information do you require about a venue?

Please share the venue address, loading access, parking arrangements and performance area. I also need to know the available setup time and any sound restrictions. If you would like me to use the venue's piano or sound system, please provide details so we can check suitability in advance.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I can bring my own stage piano and PA system, with equipment tailored to the venue and lineup. Sound and lighting arrangements for larger performances are agreed as part of the quote. I can also use suitable equipment provided by the venue.


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

Background music through my PA system can be arranged before the performance and between sets. We can discuss the playlist in advance to suit your event. This is a background music service rather than a live DJ performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

One of my most memorable gigs was performing the Finnish and Swiss national anthems on piano right on the ice at Nokia Arena in Tampere. There were over 8,000 spectators in the arena, and the performance was broadcast live on TV. Sitting at the piano in the middle of an ice hockey arena for such a special moment was an incredible experience, and definitely a highlight of my performing career!


What's your favourite type of event?

Weddings are a favourite of mine! I love being part of a day that means so much to people, whether I'm playing during the ceremony, setting a relaxed mood over dinner or getting everyone singing and dancing with the band.


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

I've been working as a pianist and singer since 2019 and have performed at hundreds of weddings, private celebrations and corporate events. I perform solo and with other musicians in duos and a five-piece party band. This experience has taught me to read the room, adapt the repertoire and help each event flow naturally, from quiet background music to a lively evening celebration.


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

I love a good melody, whether it's a song by The Beatles, an Elton John piano classic or a Frank Sinatra swing number. There's something special about making a song your own with just piano and voice. With the band, I also love turning up the energy with Robbie Williams, ABBA and the Finnish band Haloo Helsinki! It's always a highlight when the audience starts singing along and the dance floor fills up. If I had to pick one greatest song, I'd go with Frank Sinatra's version of "Fly Me to the Moon." Such a joy to play and sing!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually need around 30 minutes to set up for a solo performance, or an hour for a duo or trio, including a soundcheck. For the full band, please allow two to three hours for setup and soundcheck.

I typically perform one or two 45-minute sets, but shorter performances and longer background music packages are also available. We'll agree on the timings together so the music fits naturally around your event!


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes! Outdoor ceremonies and summer celebrations are lovely settings for live music. I need a dry, sheltered performance area with a firm, level surface and a safe power supply nearby. The instruments and sound equipment need protection from rain and direct sunlight, so we should agree on a backup plan in case the weather changes.


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

Absolutely, I'd love to hear what you'd like to hear! You can choose favourites from my repertoire, tell me which artists and styles you enjoy, or leave the selection to me. Special requests outside my usual repertoire can also be discussed in advance, especially for a ceremony or first dance. I'll help put together a selection that suits you and your guests.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients often describe my performances as heartfelt, stylish and just right for the occasion. They regularly compliment my voice and piano playing, but it's especially lovely to hear that the music created exactly the atmosphere they wanted.

People also appreciate how easy it is to plan things with me, from choosing songs to agreeing on the practical details. Whether it's a touching moment at a family celebration or a full dance floor with the band, I love hearing that the music became a highlight of the day!
