Pianist

Canterbury

Public liability insurance of £10 million

I've been playing piano since my teens, and singing even longer! With a repertoire of literally hundreds of songs, throw a request my way and see what happens! I've supported Rag N Bone Man, played alongside X-factor and BGT winners, toured with top 40 acts, and worked in London's top piano bars such as Piano Works and Covent Garden Social Club. These days I play in a number of bands, and write musicals for London Theatres, but I can't get away from the weddings. I just love it!

5 out of 5

We first met Stefan on a Royal Caribbean ship, but now we're on P&O and we can confirm he is the best piano bar entertainer on either cruise line, hands down

Stef played our garden party after we saw him on a ship and we cannot say enough good things about him

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My voice, and my crowd interaction. I've been doing this a long time and really know how to connect with the audience.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I've performed at large venues on tour with big artists and played venues such as The O2 London, and the Sydney Opera House as a session player. Solo, I've played The Forum in Bath, and performed on countless cruise ships.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I'd have to say Rag N Bone band, but also James Bay, Elton John, Billy Joel and Ed Sheeran.

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

As a solo artist it was probably headlining the Bath's International Festival at The Forum for 1500 people with a 50 piece orchestra.

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

That's fine, just let me know and we can discuss this. I will always do my best to accommodate!

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

Yes no problem, and no extra cost for iPod playlists in between sets.

How much time do you need to set up?

No longer than an hour.

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

Certainly!

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

I prefer to let you choose a few numbers from my repertoire list and I will build the set around your choices. This ensures the best mix of your preferences, with songs I know work well for my style.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes, I have top of the range keyboards and will gladly bring.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes I'll learn a few numbers on request for no extra cost. However, if you need several songs learning I will charge £30 per song after the first 3.
