I am a singing pianist that performs with a loop pedal - this means I can take the vibe very low (background music, instrumental piano versions of songs ) to very high (up tempo top 40 with beats, vocals).
I will cater to the room and the client - whatever the vibe calls for I can do!
I can provide all necessary equipment and happy to provide a list of references.
