About J.

The best pop & rock both classic & contemporary in a fun and engaging show for your event
Singing guitarist
Dublin

Professional singer & guitarist optionally accompanied by percussion according to the client's needs I specialize in pop/rock both classic and contemporary mainly from the 80s to the 2000s with a rock & roll touch, ultimately songs people know, sing along and dance to in a fun and engaging show to have a great time I can perform solo or duo with cajón (box drum) which spices up the performance in a close and practical way I offer a dynamic quality show, interacting with the audience and providing a lot of energy and feeling to my performances to make them exciting, special and overall make sure the craic gets 90 I guarantee a fun, warm and memorable show As for me, I’ve been performing for about 13 years now and I have extensive live experience in all kinds of styles – I’ve performed in several cover bands over the years, played some festivals, lead my live music project and frequently perform at the street, open mics and jam sessions - it’s my profession and occupation since I can remember Looking forward to your contact, regards!
