Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Clients love the immersive experience my performances bring. Beyond just music, I am present, enjoying every note, and encouraging guests to loosen up and relish the moment. My availability, personability, and genuine care for each event shine through, creating a unique, enjoyable atmosphere.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I'm committed to flexibility for your event's success. If timings change, inform me, and I'll adjust seamlessly as best I can. I strive to make your experience exceptional and appreciate your cooperation. Thank you!
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Of course. I can play music of your choice before the set and during a break. If you want something more bespoke please feel free to send a Spotify playlist of your creation.
How much time do you need to set up?
I aim to be at the venue 1.5 hours before the time of the performance. It usually takes me 1 hour to load in and set up. I can have my PA set up and playing music for guests 30 minutes before the performance.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Absolutely! I value a personalized approach to music. Let's schedule a free consultation to go through your song preferences and tailor the set list to your taste. I also offer an exclusive service—choose three additional songs of your choice to make your event truly bespoke. Looking forward to creating a memorable experience together!
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I want to make your day as stress-free as possible. Let me bring all the equipment, and set up/pack down. You simply enjoy the music and make the day memorable.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Yes! I offer an exclusive service—choose three additional songs of your choice to make your event truly bespoke. Looking forward to creating a memorable experience together!
