One woman, ten strings - you no longer have to choose between having a singer or a violinist at your function because I do BOTH all at once.
Acoustic acts feel like a dime a dozen these days, all playing the same acoustic covers of Wonderwall and Freebird. If you choose to hire me, you will be guaranteed to surprise your guests with something they've likely never seen before!
AND - if you are looking for something that gives just a little *more*, I play in one of the most fun and popular duos in the Niagara Region, and we will travel! Check out my videos tab for some previews.
I had Ally sign pre ceremony at our large backyard wedding. She was early to set up, and played beautiful music. We had lots of comments on how great she was to fill the space while everyone was waiting for the wedding to start. 10/10 would recommend.

I have a set list of over 4 hours' worth of music (anything from Adele to Van Morrison. ABBA to Whitney Housten.
I can either blend beautifully into the background and provide quiet, soft entertainment or really take charge of the mic and ensure everyone is engaged and having a great time.
Born and raised in the Niagara Region, I am passionate about bringing fun, light, and enjoyable music to the people who live, work and visit this beautiful part of Canada.
I am a dedicated musician with over 20+ years of experience, playing a wide range of songs (and instruments!) to ensure everyone hears something they love.
As someone who can play her violin by ear, the range of songs I am able to play is truly limitless. And when I picked up the guitar and started singing, I knew I had to find a way to bring both of these amazing instruments and my stellar voice to the music scene in Southern Ontario and beyond!
The musical possibilities are limitless when you hire a musician like me.
If you are looking for something that is a little *more* than a solo acoustic act but a little *less* than a full band, check out my duo on my videos tab (Duo Leepa).
I require power for my PA system/amplifier and a little bit of space for my setup, and that's it!
