Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Clients always tell me that they love how I can sing practically anything - one minute I'll be singing Shania Twain, the next Tina Turner and then I'll change it up with a bit of Ed Sheeran. I have a huge song list that covers songs from the 60's right up to modern day music, so clients have so many songs to choose from!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
I have performed at various venues around the country, from grand wedding venues in the countryside and rooftop bars in London to cosy living rooms!
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
I grew up listening to so many different genres and so I've been influenced by an array of different artists including Aretha Franklin, Shirley Bassey, Etta James, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey to name some.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Favourite performances include performing at a corporate event for Boots Chemist, and at Hamley's, London, exclusive VIP Christmas event where I sang to guest celebrities including Amir Khan & Danielle Lloyd.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Not a problem! Just let me know asap and I will always be as flexible as I can.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely! I offer this service for free as it's a really popular request. If you'd like a DJ service via my PA after the final set, then I can also provide this. Please ask for a quote as the additional cost depends on the finish time.
How much time do you need to set up?
Usually only 20 minutes is adequate but please allow for up to 1 hour in some cases. As soon as my PA is set up, I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for my live performance!
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes you can select all the songs you would like to hear on the day, or just a selection, and I can tailor the rest to your vibe!
If you would prefer me to put the set list together based on the vibe you're after, that's totally fine too!
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yep, I bring my professional ElectroVoice column speaker. It's slick, compact & doesn't take up much space.
I have a wireless microphone so can move around the space.
If your event is in central London, it would be great to know if there's a PA on site as parking is often limited. Otherwise, I might have to get to your venue via public transport.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes, providing I have enough time to learn them (1 week should be fine). Chances are I already know the song and just need to source the instrumental.
