I love playing at all sorts of events.
As long as the guests are happy; from a quiet background to exciting, festive music that will have everyone on the dance floor.

You might know me from major Dutch and Flemish theater productions such as Les Misérables, Elisabeth, the rock opera "Tommy," Liesbeth List, and many others. I also sang with Bobby Kimball (of the legendary American band Toto). For several years, I was the face and voice of the naturalization ceremonies for the Municipality of The Hague.

I've been influenced by many artists.
In the Portuguese fado repertoire, I prefer Mariza (annd Amalia of course).
In the French repertoire, I find Barbara Pravi, Edith Piaf, and ZAZ to be fantastic artists.
In the Latin repertoire, I prefer artists like Urethra Franklin, Jennifer Lopez, and Gloria Estefan.

I normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. I normally perform 1 or 2 x 30 minutes. I'de be happy to play a bit longer or shorter but I’ve found that these set times suit me and my audiences best."

Yes, I'd be happy to play outside. If I bring my own sound equipment, it needs to be kept dry (from the rain) or out of direct sunlight. (Preferably with a covered area.)

I can learn specific songs before the event but I usually limit this to max 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me choose the music for them.

This is from Google reviews:
-"Professional singer who responds well to what's appropriate."
-"A fantastic performance by singer Nicole. Both concert-style and festive."
-"Nicole has a beautiful voice and switches so easily from calm French chansons to spicy Latin American songs and everything in between."
-"This artist is simply top-notch. She keeps her promises."
-... aspecial request, and that was no problem either. Nicole arrived well in advance of the event, everything was quickly set up and ready for the party to begin. ...the change of pace to 80s hits was a hit. People were dancing and singing along, just like in the pub, but now sung by someone who could actually sing.

Yes, if desired, I can provide professional sound equipment tailored to the size of your group:
* Up to 35 people: €100
* 35–250 people: €250
* More than 250 people: €500

Yes, both the volume and genre can be fully customized. The music can serve as an atmospheric backdrop or simply as a listening moment.
-In addition to vocals and guitar, I add backing tracks, which creates an extra rich experience.
-I can flexibly switch between calm background music and a more exuberant, festive setting.
This makes live singing suitable for corporate events with various events, such as drinks, dinner, and parties.
