Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients appreciate my ability to create the perfect atmosphere — elegant, refined and never intrusive. I adapt intuitively to each moment, combining musical sensitivity with professionalism, reliability and a personalised approach to every event.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have performed in luxury hotels, private venues and international settings, including Hôtel Plaza Athénée Paris, Ladurée Paris and aboard Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and Explora Journeys across Europe and North & Central America. I also regularly perform at private events and weddings across Europe.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Influenced by a blend of classical and contemporary artists including Ludovico Einaudi, Yann Tiersen and film composers such as Hans Zimmer, alongside jazz legends like Gershwin, Bill Evans. This combination allows me to create elegant, emotional and modern interpretations.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I have performed for high-profile international audiences including private events attended by King Juan Carlos I of Spain and Eva Longoria, as well as luxury clients such as Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Hôtel Plaza Athénée Paris and Ladurée.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Timings can be adjusted as long as I’m informed in advance. I always try to remain flexible to ensure your event runs smoothly. For significant changes or extended performance time, we can simply adapt the schedule together.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, I can provide background music between sets to maintain the atmosphere. This can be discussed and adapted depending on your needs and the setup at the venue.

How much time do you need to set up?

Setup is usually quick — around 15–30 minutes depending on the venue and instrument. I always arrive in advance to ensure everything is ready and runs smoothly.

If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?

Yes, absolutely — I’m happy to perform on a venue piano as long as it is in good condition and tuned. This is usually the best option for creating an elegant and authentic atmosphere.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Of course. I’m happy to discuss your preferences and create a tailored setlist. I can also guide you if needed to ensure the music perfectly fits the atmosphere and flow of your event.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

I usually perform on a piano available at the venue, which I recommend for the best sound and atmosphere. If needed, I can arrange a professional keyboard setup upon request.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, absolutely. I’m happy to learn specific songs for your event and tailor the repertoire to your preferences. I can also adapt and improvise to match the atmosphere during the performance.
