Overview
Your guests are chatting, drinks in hand. The energy is already there, with carefully curated pre-show music.
Eventually, the house music stops and lights dim, you hear a low rumble from the piano up front, there's a man wearing the wildest outfit you've ever seen.
All eyes are on the funny piano man, he plays incredibly, the instrument an extension of himself.
He's bringing people on stage you could barely get to smile before.
He's playing songs you love, fun new ones to get the young dancing. Throwback jams, reminding you of a time when life was simpler.
You look at your watch. 3 hours have gone by, you feel rejuvenated.
I shake your hand, it was my honor to perform for you.

Singing Pianist
Orlando entertained for our family reunion. There were all ages from 2 through 80 in attendance. Orlando was easy to work with and very professional. The sound quality was excellent. He asked for information about the party and the type of music we were looking for at the time of the booking. He contacted the venue and made sure everything was arranged with the hotel. Then he checked back about a month before the party to discuss specifics. After that, I needed to contact him with additional questions and requests. Orlando was easy to reach by email and he always got back to me with answers to my questions and requests.
Orlando played appropriate music for socializing, dinner and dancing during the entire party. We requested mostly dance music, but Orlando also entertained. We especially enjoyed the dance contest he did with the kids, several sing a longs (he also taught the dance moves to the YMCA sing a long), a ragtime feature and special requests from the guests. Orlando kind of led the party and moved things along by responding to what was going on. I was very pleased with his service and received many compliments on the music.

Orlando puts on an engaging and enjoyable show. His interaction with the audience gets them involved with his performance. He has an incredible range of tunes and seems to be able to play any genre of music and to pick up and play songs he has never played before. I was very impressed with his professionalism and talent.

About
If you're looking for a singing pianist with an enormous song list and years of experience engaging crowds and making a fool of himself, say hi to me.
Specializing in (1) hits from the 70s-80s-90s, (2) Broadway, and (3) my own original music, I have several cruise ship piano bars under my belt and love taking requests to keep you singing along.
Having my Bachelor’s degree in Classical Piano performance, I also am able to drop the energy for quieter events. Please reach out if you would need to see anything else to consider me for a performing act, I deeply appreciate you checking out these materials and hope to hear from you soon!
Additional Booking Notes
I bring my own equipment: piano shell, keyboard, up to two microphones, one headset mic, and one HK 10 Polar Speaker system.
Unless it is a classical/jazz performance, venues for any event with more than 25 people and/or in a large room (1000+ sqft) will require a professional sound set up.
