We give Ms Kay an A+ all around: affordability, punctuality, showmanship, versatility, musicality, personality, etc. She and her tunes gave life to the birthday party, she sang beautifully at the gig. She accommodated my requests to play music with my son (he on sax, she on keyboard) and also to play a love song from back home. She is the complete package for live entertainment. We're so happy we found her on gigsalad. We certainly will hire Deborah Kay again when the need arises.

Deborah was so great to work with! She has a great musical knowledge, excellent timing (she played throughout the ceremony), and a fantastic attitude. She showed up with plenty of time to warm up, quickly made contact and then went to work. She learned a song we had requested and really nailed those parts during the ceremony. Her price is incredibly reasonable given her talents and abilities. We couldn't have asked for a better pianist for our very special day. Even after her car got hit in the parking lot of our venue she still stayed incredibly positive and excited to be there. THAT'S professionalism.

Deborah was great to work with and did an excellent job. She was contracted to play for 2 hours but was enjoyed by our crowd so much that we asked her to extend her playing time an extra hour. She was more than happy to accommodate. Highly recommend Deborah to play at any event you may be having.
