Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients value the tailored curation of my repertoire, my expressive skills, and the unique character I bring to the keys. I focus entirely on conveying the deep musical meaning of each piece, creating a highly sophisticated, elegant atmosphere that elevates the tone of corporate events and ceremonies.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Highlights include The World yacht, MSC Melody, Harvey Nichols London, Westfield, and Corus Hyde Park Hotel. Classical spaces include St Mary’s Perivale, All Saints Hammersmith, Cheltenham Town Hall, St Pancras, Muse Theatre, Collegium Musicum (D), Dreispitz (CH), and several other theatres and classical venues across Italy.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

My vast repertoire spans from Bach to contemporary pioneers like Einaudi, Yiruma, and James Quinn. I am deeply influenced by the expressive touch of Chopin, Debussy, and Satie, alongside the lyrical elegance of old-fashioned Italian and Neapolitan songs, French chansons, and standard jazz masters like Gershwin and Cole Porter.

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

Highlights include performing in a duo with clarinettist Dimitri Ashkenazy at the Sperimentale Theatre, and collaborating with violinist Dejan Bogdanovich at the Muse Theatre of Ancona. My headline solo performances and concerts aboard The World luxury yacht also stand out as premier events for exclusive global audiences.

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

I aim to be flexible to ensure your event runs smoothly. If timings change slightly in the lead-up, please let me know. Note that performance extensions on the day or shifts outside the originally contracted booking window are subject to live availability and an additional pro-rata overtime fee.

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

No. As an acoustic pianist, I focus entirely on delivering a live performance and do not supply audio equipment or background playlists. To maintain the venue's atmosphere between my sets, I recommend utilizing the house sound system or coordinating a music playlist directly with your event production team.

How much time do you need to set up?

I can arrive 30–45 minutes prior to the performance start time. Because I perform acoustically on the provided venue piano, no heavy equipment setup or soundcheck is required. This time is used strictly for wardrobe preparation, instrument inspection, and final timeline coordination with the event manager.

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

Yes, provided it meets standard requirements. To ensure a premium performance, the client must guarantee these venue assets: - Instrument: A professional acoustic piano (tuned to A440) or high-end digital stage piano. - Ergonomics: A fully adjustable piano stool. - Visibility: Performance lighting focused clearly on keys and music.

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

Yes, you are very welcome to select any of the songs listed in my repertoire. My lists are carefully crafted to create a sophisticated lounge atmosphere, and I am always happy to incorporate your specific favourites to ensure the music aligns perfectly with your event.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

The client must guarantee a well-maintained acoustic or high-end digital piano on-site. I am unable to supply or transport a personal keyboard to the venue.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song is not on my repertoire list, I am happy to evaluate it for you. Please submit the title at least 14 days prior to the event so I can review the piece. If it is feasible, a standard fee of £50 per song applies to cover transcription and rehearsal. Other highly complex classical pieces or unique requests will be considered and priced separately.
