Customer questions
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes, I offer an iPod service for free and am known for very good taste creating a real atmosphere in the venue
How much time do you need to set up?
I usually start setting up around 1 hour before the performance time. 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 songs you play from the set list?
My setlist is crafted to make the event sound as good as I possibly can! However, you can pick up to two songs from my list, or one song from my list and one not from my list- just make sure to give me plenty of notice- thanks!
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I'm more than happy to! I bring my instrument, and I'm able to bring a microphone if there's a DJ already, and in addition, I can bring a PA if needed.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Yes, of course! I'm happy to learn one new song that's not on my list if you give me plenty of notice!
