About Christy

Played for 15 years. Europe tour w/Rufus Wainwright, played 100’s of weddings/events. Can learn songs to tailor the music to your event (:

Singing guitarist

London

Public liability insurance of £15 million

I’ve Been playing professionally for over 10 years, currently signed to legendary record label Decca Records. I started busking the streets of Glasgow when I was 14 and everything snowballed from then till now! I have toured Europe with Rufus Wainwright and played festivals all over the world. I play piano, guitar and sing! I am also an actor I have appeared in a few feature films and as romantic lead in Disney show ‘Find Me In Paris’. I can play and sing all kinds of styles, I’ve always been lucky that I can imitate a lot of singers quite perfectly. I absolutely love playing shows and entertaining people! It’s my favourite thing to do. I am happy to learn any songs you would like also, and I can take requests on the day as I can play stuff on the spot - I learned to do this busking! Would love to play your event and make it a night everyone will remember always! I can play all types of music and genres, and very experienced in a wide variety of events - from playing my own headline tours throughout Europe, to intimate proposals! I look forward to chatting, All the best, Christy x

Christy sang and played guitar for my birthday party and he was a hit! He was easy to work with and got the crowd going plus he was just fun to be around. I would highly recommend. Thank you, Christy!

Christy was an amazing addition to our day 2 wedding event! He was in contact before the event to see what songs were would like played and then adapted his playlist to our requests. Christy has an amazing voice and knew how to get the crowd going at the right times. He really made our day, would definitely recommend! Thank you Christy!

Christy was a god send! Less than 48hrs before our event, we were let down by our original Singer. Christy had great communication and replied well within answering time during this very stressful time of trying to find another singer. He had a great personality and great song choice for such a variety of age groups… he was loved by all. In fact I am still getting friends & family saying how good he was and how well he fit in with everyone. In between sets he mingled well amongst the guests. We loved that. He even danced and sung with the kids as his backing performers. A fab day had by all because of Christy! We would highly recommend him without a doubt. Well done Christy. It was a real pleasure. Best wishes for the future 😊 Until next time. Tasha & Dan

Christy has one of the best voices around, his playing is brilliant. He can get a room absolutely rocking -‘d singing along easily with his amazing performance, charisma and charm.

Christy played at our wedding in 2019, he absolutely made our day so very special with his performance, all made even better because he learned all our requests and played me down the aisle so beautifully. A moment we will never forget! Thank you Christy.
