What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Performing at L’Olympia in Paris stands out as my most high-profile gig, alongside appearances at major international festivals and events worldwide.
Do you have different line-up options?
Yes. I perform as a solo live electric violinist, and I also offer an optional DJ & Violin duo for high-energy party sets.
Line-ups can be adapted depending on the event style and atmosphere.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Timings can usually be adjusted, as long as changes are communicated in advance. I always aim to be flexible on the day to ensure everything runs smoothly. Any significant changes to duration or schedule may be discussed and agreed together if needed.
How much time do you need to set up?
I usually need around 20–30 minutes to set up, depending on the venue and sound requirements. If a PA system is already in place, setup time can be even shorter. I always arrive early to ensure everything is ready before guests arrive.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes, absolutely. You’re welcome to choose pieces from my set list, and I’m also happy to accommodate special requests where possible. I work closely with each couple to tailor the music to their taste and key moments of the day.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes. I bring all the equipment needed to perform. If the venue has a PA system, I can connect to it, or provide my own if required.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes, of course. I’m happy to learn specific pieces in advance to make your event more personal.
