Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Clients love the energy and personal connection I bring to each performance. Whether it’s through engaging with the crowd or creating the perfect atmosphere, I tailor every set to the vibe of the event. They often comment on my versatility, whether performing solo with a looper or with a full band, and the ability to keep guests dancing all night.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
I’ve performed at venues like The Bedford, The Troubadour, and The Water Rats, as well as house parties, wedding hotels, and private events. Each venue has offered a unique experience, from intimate acoustic sets to larger gigs with full stage setups, making every performance memorable.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
I’ve been heavily influenced by a range of artists across genres, including John Mayer, Elton John, and Ed Sheeran. Their ability to fuse emotion with technical skill has inspired my own style, blending elements of pop, rock, and acoustic singer-songwriter vibes to create something unique for every audience.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
One of the most high-profile gigs I’ve performed was at a private event hosted at The Shard in London. The atmosphere was incredible, playing for a mix of industry professionals and high-profile guests. It was an unforgettable experience that showcased my ability to adapt to an upscale and dynamic crowd.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I always try my best to be flexible to ensure your event runs smoothly. If your timings change slightly leading up to the event, just let me know, and I'll do my best to accommodate.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely! This is a common request, and I offer it for free between sets. If you’d like a DJ service via my PA after the final set until the venue closes, I can provide this for an additional £100.
How much time do you need to set up?
I typically need 20 minutes to set up before the performance if it is an acoustic performance or 45 minutes if I am with a full band.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
My set lists are crafted from experience, and I know what works best to keep guests dancing and having a great time. However, I'm happy to chat and make sure we find what works best for your event.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I bring all the necessary equipment. If I'm performing with a band, we’ll bring lights and a full PA system. For acoustic performances, I’ll have my PA, looper, and everything needed to deliver a great sound.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If a song isn’t in my song list, I may already know it. If there’s something special you'd like me to learn, I’m happy to do that for a small fee of £30 to cover rehearsal time.
