What types of music can a singer perform?

Singers span a wide range of genres and styles, but most will specialise in one or two styles. The most common genres for singers are pop, rock, & jazz. Your best bet is to check your singer's song list on their Encore profile - this will give you a good picture of what they're most comfortable singing! However, singers learn new songs easily, so if your favourite song isn't included, just ask - they can probably learn it.

I want my singer to play an instrument as well. Is this possible?

Yes! Many singers will play an instrument to accompany themselves, like a guitar or piano (or even the accordion!). They'll most likely mention this on their profile, as well as links to videos showcasing their skills.

Do singers bring their own equipment?

It's extremely common for singers to own backing track system set ups, as well as fully contained performance equipment to bring to their performances at events. If the singer uses backing tracks, you can be confident that they'll also own amplification to bring along with them. In addition to this, many singers will also be able to provide lighting set ups too - though always best to check first in both instances if this is what you're after.
