Pianist

Aberdeen

My music can be a fantastic adventure of glorious sounds in improvisation, or a journey to back into the old days. I specialise in enchanting and heart-warming romantic classical or jazz music. However, I am open to any stylistic requests!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Good balance, warm tone, musicality, good balance of rubato, sensitivity in performances.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Madras College, St. Andrew's Anstruther Parish Church, Burial Brae, Anstruther Bell Baxter High School, Cupar Adam Smith Theatre, Kirkcaldy

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Fryderyk Chopin has been my greatest love from the beginning. As for jazz, I love music performed by classic American artists such as Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennet and Ella Fitzgerald. I also enjoy listening to pop music like ABBA, Boney M, Queen, Bee Gees, Adele, Lianne La Havas, Sting, etc.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Has to be the Fife Festival of Music, where I won 2nd place for my piano performance :)

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

As long as it is within the same time frame (eg. same day/same number of days), then it shouldn't be a problem. However, do contact me to confirm as it will vary from person to person :)

How much time do you need to set up?

That depends on if you have a piano/digital piano available at your venue/location. I own a great quality Casio digital piano keyboard which I can bring along with me, it takes about 5 mins to set-up.

If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?

Absolutely - as long as it is in good condition and properly set up!

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

Sure! However, you can contact me if you wish to create a unique playlist for your event.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Certainly - just get in touch with me and I'll see what we can work out! Despite my stylistic focus, I am open to other styles that would fit more into your event.
