Hi! My name is Elijah, I am a 22 year old self taught pianist. I play slower pop music/CCM/improv. My favorite thing to do is match the mood of the environment, if conversation is really flowing in the room I just play background music but if it gets quiet I'll throw in some popular pop song melodies that are soothing to the ear, which naturally creates conversation in the room. Growing up I spent all my time as an athlete and locked my emotions inside. When I found the piano 3 years ago, it was a way for me to express myself which unlocked my ability to express myself in other areas of my life as well. I connect easily with people and would love to fill your home with some beautiful music.
This pianist provided such beautiful background piano music at a family gathering! We have had him play several times for both casual & formal events. He keeps things elegant & lively, while being an amazing conversationalist. He is professional & I recommend him for anyone who is looking for a peaceful piano background.
Had a family gathering and thought it would be really cool to have a musician play some background music. I had no issues booking Elijah. He’s very talented and professional. Super easy to talk to as well, as my guests and I had several conversations with him before and after the event. He catered amazingly to the mood of the event and made it that much more special.
Price Range: $50 per hour
I offer endless pretty background piano music with seamless transitions between slower pop songs and improvisation. I play by ear so I am very creative with the music that I play and no matter where I am I'm going to have a good time. If you don't like my music you won't hurt my feelings just don't book me again! What I play isn't for everyone and i understand that. I also love meeting new people and am a sucker for a conversation. I love hearing about peoples lives and gaining perspectives from others. It impacts how I play the piano and the mood that I create. I gain a general sense of the mood in the room, happy, surprised, dramatic, etc. and express that on the piano.
