| Singing Pianist for minimum of 3 hours | $400 (NZD) |
My main gig over the last 10 years I mainly operate as a keys rich solo act live looping with some acoustic guitar, bass guitar electric uke and a vocal harmoniser. I've learnt to give a captivating live show on each instrument with Keys being my most proficient and engaging, bringing a fun vibe to encounter. Im currently looking to be a piano bar entertainer singing with piano. With over 300 50s to contemporary covers I've also released 10 albums of life/love/gospel songs to add passion and peace that can be woven into a set as appropriate. I have an interesting lower female voice and offer covers in a fresh and original ways to bring a musical encounter of wonder and delight.

I love playing in prison the best to encourage prisoners there's hope yet for their lives to have meaning.
I also enjoy playing in pubs to bring some cheer, relaxation "peace, love and joy"
Where people find the music really helps them where they are at...relatable and either relaxing or fun, what they are needing right now.
I've toured NZ extensively as a live solo looping musician and singing/pianist but I started out playing piano at age 11 and singing in the school choir as a female tenor. Im still singing lower and been songwriting for a long time. Released 10 albums since 2008.
I've played in a classic rock CCR covers band and lead my own originals band a couple times. Played a lot of gospel gigs and bands as leader or coached bands to play better and find their groove. I am inspired and I like to inspire others in and through music.
I have been inspired initially by Elton John for piano style and vocal ideas, Carole King for song writing and piano vocal interaction.
Later I was inspired by Annie Lennox vocal flavours and passion in her music from Eurythmics to her solo career.
James Blunt was very inspiring as a songwriter and in the arrangements of songs. Ed Sheeran is inspiring as a songwriter.
Maybe the best song of all time is quite subjective. I dont have 1 favourite but I do like my inspired original songs and they make me feel more amazing than songs written by other people.
If I bring the Keyboard and sound system, allow an hour
If I bring the full live looping show, allow 2 hours set up.
I play up to 4 hours with short breaks in between in a pub.
A live show in a concert hall setting is 2 hours with sometimes a short intermission.
I can perform outside under the right conditions:
Shelter/shade is provided, its not too windy or rainy for the speakers /electronic gear.
Inside is my preference.
I have a large repertoire of 300 songs, the clients are welcome to pick from this or we can choose the music for them.
Captivating, passionate, fun, catchy, life changing, and I am always asked to return or when next available.
