Additional Booking Notes
For piano performances, I typically require a well-tuned acoustic piano or I can provide a professional-grade keyboard if needed. Access to a standard power outlet is essential when using my keyboard. For larger venues or outdoor events, I may need amplification to ensure the music can be heard clearly throughout the space, which I can provide if necessary.
As a DJ, I bring all the essential equipment, including a professional sound system, DJ controller, and lighting setup to enhance the atmosphere. All I require is access to one or two standard power outlets near the performance area. If your event space is particularly large, I might recommend additional speakers for optimal sound coverage.
For both piano and DJ services, a clear, stable performance area is needed with enough space for my setup. If staging is required, please ensure it’s sturdy enough to support my equipment. I handle all setup and breakdown myself and typically arrive 1-2 hours before the event to ensure everything is perfect and ready to go.

Influences & Inspiration
My musical journey has been shaped by a variety of artists and genres that reflect both classic and contemporary influences. As a pianist, I’ve drawn inspiration from classical composers like Chopin and Beethoven for their timeless melodies and technical precision. I’m also influenced by the theatrical styles of shows like Cats and Phantom of the Opera, which have helped me craft performances that evoke strong emotions and tell a story through music.
In addition, artists like Billy Joel and The Beatles have been significant in shaping my style. Their ability to blend pop sensibilities with powerful, memorable melodies inspires me to create engaging and accessible performances. Whether I’m playing Somewhere Over the Rainbow, a Beatles classic, or a piece with a ragtime flair, I strive to deliver a versatile experience that resonates with a wide range of audiences.
On the DJ side, I’ve been influenced by iconic DJs and producers such as Tiësto and Calvin Harris, whose ability to blend genres and create unforgettable atmospheres has inspired me to craft sets that keep the energy flowing. I also admire how artists like Daft Punk have pushed the boundaries of electronic music, motivating me to always stay innovative in my own performances.
This blend of classical training and modern influences allows me to offer a truly unique experience, whether I’m performing solo piano at a wedding or spinning an upbeat DJ set at a party.
