Customer questions

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

I try my best to be very flexible to make events happen smoothly and if the timings are not too wide I am very considerate. If anything too client must communicate before time to make me aware and know what to do.

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

That is possible if the client wants that but not all clients wants the Dj services so in case the client requests for that I can deliver that smoothly.

How much time do you need to set up?

It depends if I’m coming with PA I would need about and hour and if I’m only setting up my keyboards or bass guitar I can do that within 10 minutes.

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

Yes that will even make my work more easier as long as the piano is in tune and working properly I will be glad. I wouldn’t have to carry a piano from my place to the place of event.

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

Yes. And you can even send special songs you want me to perform in time to enable me learn it before the time of the gig.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes , I have my personal keyboard I carry anywhere when I have a gig.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes I’ve been doing this for over 20 years and I can render that service easily.
