Frequently Asked Questions

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

With over 12 years of experience in the industry, it is quite difficult to define which gig was the best as almost every gig is an awesome show. I was an opening act for bands such as Mi Casa, Jesse Clegg, The Parlotones, Watershed, Prime Circle, Matthew Mole and GOODLUCK, I was also on a countrywide tour with Pam Golding properties for 6 weeks which ended in Zambia. This was an experience of a lifetime as the venue was right next to Victoria Falls. The atmosphere was incredible!


What's your favourite type of event?

I love playing at all sorts of events, corporate, weddings and private events are my favourites. It is important that my clients are happy with the service that has been provided and that they have experienced an amazing show.


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

I started gigging whilst being in school and my performances developed from there. With over 12 years of experience, I have performed at hundreds of weddings, parties and events across South Africa. I am excited about the journey ahead as I have been invited to play at an upcoming wedding in Greece.


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

There are so many legendary artists, a few of my favourites are Kygo, Andrea Bocelli, Hans Zimmer, Goldfish, Ben Bohmer, Fleetwood Mac, Queen and Teddy Swims. I like to incorporate iconic songs from different genres of music into my set to create an awesome high-energy performance set.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Depending on the type of event, we usually arrive before the performance time to ensure that all gear is setup and that we have completed soundcheck.
We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 45-minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best. We are also happy to accommodate the client with their requests.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We're happy to play outside if there is shelter from the elements, a flat surface and power supply to close to the performance area.


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

Yes, the clients do have a say in what can be played. I have an extensive repertoire list available where the clients can select songs from. I do however find that a set repertoire for the event does not always accommodate the atmosphere. For example, the next song on the list could be "It's My Life by Bon Jovi " while the type of feel for the event could be light background music.It would then be suitable to play an acoustic version of another song to fit in with the atmosphere of the event. I can also learn specific songs, on condition the song is available in the right key and the list is given well in advance.
