I'M HAVING AN EVENT BUT I DON'T WANT THE MUSIC TO BE LOUD, SO MY GUESTS CAN TALK, ARE YOU ABLE TO DO THAT?

Absolutely! Although I can play upbeat and fun music, I'm able to create the perfect ambiance suited for a relaxed atmosphere where your guests can mingle and talk without having to compete with the volume. Ideal for cocktail hours.

I WANT TO START THE NIGHT OFF MELLOW BUT WANT THE CROWD DANCING LATER IN EVENING.  WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

I can coordinate the first set list and group of songs of the evening to be more relaxed music and then segue into a more fun and upbeat type of vibe for the remainder of the evening. I could also perform with additional musicians like a drummer for the later part of the evening for a bigger sound. Or another alternative is I can start the night performing solo playing familiar songs to get your guests smiling and after everyone catches the mood right, I can DJ for the remainder of the evening.

CAN YOU PLAY THE CEREMONY, COCKTAIL HOUR AND RECEPTION?

Absolutely. I can play any of them or a mix. I can play distinctly different feels for all three and even recommend songs and set lists just for your event. I can provide music while the guests arrive and leave as well. I have a perfectly suited repertoire of beautiful acoustic songs, both instrumental and with vocals that I can custom arrange to fit your event. In addition, I can coordinate different line ups of musicians for each part of the wedding.

WHAT SONGS DO YOU PERFORM?

My catalog of cover music spans the decades to include Rock, Pop, Soul, Alternative, & Country. Old school favorites to contemporary hits. I have a SET LIST OF OVER 600 SONGS YOU CAN VIEW HERE and am always open to any special requests custom to the event.

DO YOU TRAVEL?

Yes I do! I am based in the NYC metropolitan area and have traveled extensively on the U.S. East Coast to perform at all kinds of events. I am also available to travel throughout the United States and internationally as well. Please contact for more information.
