Do you have your own sound equipment?
No, unfortunately, but I can always refer you to a sound engineer who can set up the necessary sound system at your event for a fee.
Can you perform as a solo, duo, trio or more?
Yes, I perform as a solo artist, duo, trio, or with a full band, depending on the budget and the type of event. For larger, high-energy events, I prefer to perform with a full band to bring an exciting and dynamic atmosphere. For more intimate gatherings or events with a smaller scale, we can opt for a more streamlined setup with a smaller group of musicians or even a solo performance, ensuring the music fits perfectly with the vibe and size of the occasion.
Is your set list flexible? Do you do party and more upbeat ambience?
Yes, I do specialize in dance parties and high-energy upbeat sets, tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. Whether it’s a lively event or a more intimate gathering, I guarantee a performance that will get the crowd moving and dancing. My setlists are carefully curated to keep the energy flowing and ensure an unforgettable experience for everyone in the room. From chart-topping hits to crowd favorites, I know how to create the perfect atmosphere and keep the vibe going all night long.
