What are the different packages you offer?

I generally create a custom package for every client to meet the exact criteria of your event. This can include anything from one hour of acoustic instrumental guitar to a three hour roaming guitar and vocal performance to a full 6 hour performance that includes acoustic guitar, guitar and vocals and electric guitar to DJ'd dance songs. We can talk together.

What kind of music can you play?

I play oldies, modern top 40s, easy listening, instrumentals.

Can we choose what music you play?

Absolutely! I am happy to send you my set list so you can pick some of your favorites out. Also, I’m sometimes able to learn a new song just for you and create a custom Spotify playlist out for you to play during the breaks.

What makes you different than any other musician?

I’ve been a full time musician since 2009 and I’m committed to making sure that you have the best possible experience, whether it’s your wedding day, birthday party, a corporate event or any other kind of party.

I’m a 5 star ranked musician on every platform that I’m listed, a recommended vendor for several of the top wedding venues in California and have had consistent rave reviews for over 15 years and counting. You can read some of the reviews here
My performance is very interactive and brings the performance to your crowd, which is what sets it apart from your typical wedding band or musician for hire. I have a wireless unit that allows me to perform while roaming around your party, bringing the stage to the guests and livening up the crowd and bring the energy up throughout the night.

I’m not another “cover musician”. I graduated from one of the best modern music schools in the world, Berklee College and have been performing full time ever since. I’m also an original recording artist and nationally touring original artist. I’ve worked on projects with Hans Zimmer’s first violinist, Dua Lipas cellist and performed with the keyboard player for Cyndi Lauper. I have released two original EPs and have also worked as a film composer and even helped score a documentary that made it to the number one spot on the Apple TV store.

I’ve performed over 1,500 live events since I started and have played at all kinds of different venues, from intimate candle light dinners with just a few people to huge festivals with thousands of people to classy fortune 500 company parties at 5 star hotels. I have performed at many of the most beautiful venues in Las Vegas and California, including the Houdini Estate, The Beverly Hilton, The SLS Hotel and The Venetian. I’ve played for groups of all ages, cultures and musical tastes including CEOs of household companies, celebrities, and international audiences.

My entire life is dedicated to my craft. I practice, I write, I record and I work on my business and that’s all I do. There are almost no musicians on the planet who put as much time and energy into there music as me and because of that, you get the best performance possible. I base my set upon what will specifically fit your event, so each night is different depending on what you might be looking for. I make sure that your personal preferences are met and craft the set to make sure the night will be your personal soundtrack.

I also have the absolute best quality equipment that money can buy. Everything from my sound system to my cables to the bags I carry my gear in are of the highest quality. Tens of thousands of dollars were invested into getting only the best, because that is always what I strive for and what I offer.

I want to make sure that your event is something you and your guests remember for a long time. The entire process will be easy, seamless and I will make sure that your every need is met.

Can you just play instrumental guitar only for part of the night?

Yes. Although I often play and sing, I'm able to play only instrumental guitar without any vocals. This is ideal for guest seating, dinner, ceremony and other parts of an event where you want to create a sense of intimacy and/or lower the energy just a little.

How long are your set breaks and can you provide background music during this time?

My sets are generally 45 - 60 minutes and my breaks are typically 15 - 20 minutes long. However this can change if there are guest speeches, group photos, a presentation, a slideshow or something else where it’s best to have background break music or no music at all. I will always coordinate with you to work around these moments!

How much space do you need to set up and do you need a stage?

It’s preferable to have a space that is 8ft x 3ft hard, flat and level surface so I’m able to safely set up all the equipment. A stage is always appreciated, but never a requirement.

Is it ok if you arrive earlier to set up?

Yes, I always arrive 1 - 2 hours early to make sure to have everything set up and ready to go before the scheduled performance time.
