"Thankyou Nikki for making our mum's 80th surprise party so special. She loved hearing you singing and everyone thought you have an incredible singing voice. Your song choices catered for all ages and you sang pitch perfect throughout. Your vocal range is amazing and none of us will ever listen to 'because you loved me' without getting a little emotional everyone again. You were incredible and we highly recommend booking Nikki to anyone else who would like some amazing entertainment. Thankyou once more"
MS hired Nikki Aston for a Birthday party
"Heidi was amazing. Great communication to us for our party, letting us know when she is setting off and arriving 1 hour before starting to set up and make sure everything was ready in time. Moved seamlessly from singing to DJ for her break. Her voice was fantastic. We even had friends and family in her line of work that said how amazing she was. If we ever hold another party we won’t be looking anywhere else. 100% recommend Heidi. Thank you for making the party"

Can professional singers sing any song?
Whether a singer can sing a song depends mostly on their vocal range, vocal style, and musical knowledge. Vocal range is the span of notes that a singer can comfortably sing. Professional singers typically have a wider vocal range than amateur singers, which allows them to sing a wider variety of songs. However, even professional singers may have limitations in their vocal range. For example, a soprano may not be able to sing the low notes of a baritone, and vice versa. Vocal style refers to the unique way that a singer uses their voice. Professional singers often have developed their own vocal styles that are appropriate for the genres they perform in. For example, a classical singer may have a more operatic style, while a pop singer may have a more raspy or soulful style. Musical knowledge refers to a singer's understanding of music theory, harmony, and melody. Typically, professional singers are very knowledgeable about music, which allows them to learn new songs quickly and accurately. Additionally, they have a good sense of pitch and rhythm, which helps them sing in tune. In general, professional singers are able to sing a wide variety of songs, but there may be some songs that are beyond their vocal range or style. However, you should always discuss any song requests you have with your chosen singer beforehand to make sure it's something they feel they can perform well.
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.
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.
