About Chaz

Verified profile

I am a professional singer, guitarist, songwriter and producer based in Bristol. As a session guitarist I have played for Lulu, Take That, Judie Tzuke and Emeli Sande to name I few. I have received half a million streams as a solo artist in Spotify and I am constantly writing/recording as a solo artist/collaborator. I work regularly with Extreme Music, Ninja Tune and Universal as a composer writing songs to briefs. I love this work as it helps me expand my knowledge as a musician and hone my songwriting skills. As well as this I am embedded in the local music scene of Bristol where I front a Blues Trio and also perform my own original music as a solo act. When I'm not making music I like to restore old vehicles and take long distance motorcycle trips.

Chaz was our NYE artist for our country pub - he was superb! great set list of songs, great vocals and brought in the New Year with style. Would highly recommend him for any event and we will 100% rebook him for our monthly Live Entertainment nights, the locals are still raving over him - thanks again Chaz.

I have been lucky enough to play with Chaz over the last two years and he never fails to impress me with his virtuosic guitar skills and velvety vocals.

I have performed with and watched Chaz many times and he never fails to blow me away. His voice is silly smooth and guitar skills insane!

Customer questions

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

I'm happy to work with you if timings change.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually take around 30 minutes to set up.

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

Yes, that's no problem.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

This depends on the event. I have the equipment to perform in a small space, but if the room is large or I'm performing outside then it's best to hire equipment.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I'm happy to learn a few specific songs given enough notice.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

A few of my favourite venues that I've played at include Union Chapel (London), The Lowry (Salford), The Caves (Edinburgh), Shepherds Bush Empire (London).

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

I have performed at Glastonbury festival for the last 6 years.
