Frequently Asked Questions

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

"The most rewarding gigs I’ve done are those where the music elevates a milestone celebration, like an intimate wedding ceremony or a curated private dinner. My favorite venues to work at are open-air gardens and boutique spaces that combine elegant aesthetics with warm acoustics, allowing me to deliver a truly personalized and emotional performance for the guests."


What's your favourite type of event?

"Weddings are definitely my favorite. I love sharing in the couple's happiness, and it's incredibly easy for me to channel that joy into my music on such a special day.


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

Music has been my passion since childhood, which naturally led me to the stage. I started gigging early on, turning a lifelong love into a professional career. For me, every single event is a unique moment, and I treat each performance with fresh energy. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience performing at various events, always focusing on connecting with the audience and making their special moments unforgettable.


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

BACH!!!!!DEFINITELY!!!!ITZHAK PERLMAN.POR UNA CABEZA!!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Setup Time:I typically arrive at the venue 60 minutes before my performance. This gives me plenty of time to tune my violin, let the instrument adjust to the room's temperature/humidity, set up my music stand, and run a quick sound check with the venue's coordinator or DJ.Performance Time:My standard performance options are highly flexible to suit your event's timeline:Short sets: 30 to 45 minutes (ideal for wedding ceremonies, guest arrivals, or proposals).Standard sets: 1 to 2 hours, split into 45-minute performance blocks with a short 15-minute break in between to maintain peak energy and musical quality.I am always happy to customize these timings to perfectly match the schedule of your special day.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I am happy to play the violin anywhere surrounded by happy people.


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

I would be absolutely delighted to include 1-2 of your favorite songs in the performance. To ensure the highest artistic quality and proper preparation, please share your special requests with me at least [e.g., 3 weeks] prior to the event.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

When music is expressed from the heart and touches people's souls, the emotions that flow back are always the greatest reward. Guests usually describe the atmosphere as deeply moving, filled with warmth and positive energy.


can i get your whole performance list?

I would be thrilled to share my full repertoire list with you! I have attached my current performance list, which includes a wide range of styles from classical wedding staples to modern pop covers and cinematic themes.Please keep in mind that this is just a guide. If you have a special song in mind for your ceremony or first dance that is not on this list, I would be more than happy to learn it uniquely for your wedding day!"
