Kane. We just wanted to text and say thank you again so much for yesterday. You were so patient and accomodating with us. You played literally everything we asked for and it was just the perfect vibe we were looking for. So many of our guests have said how great you were! You'll be the first person I call if we ever need a singer again! Thanks again.

Customer questions

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

That's totally fine, as long as I don't have another booking on the same day.

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

Absolutely, any price increase will depend on what you require. Playing your favourite Spotify playlist shouldn't be too much trouble.

How much time do you need to set up?

I'm usually set up within an hour.

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

My set lists are quite particular, but I'm always open to helping facilitate the needs of your event. I'm also up for learning a song or two to give that special touch to your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I have a small PA system that I use regularly. For larger spaces, I also have a full PA system available.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Absolutely, just let me know what you desire,
