Many people mistake me for a performing artist. I'm not, and I don't have the personality for that.
I don't "perform" — I just play. It's different. I want the focus to be on the piano and the moment and what's going on inside the people who are near. I don't want the focus to be on me.
I'm not built to play for an "audience", but I love playing for people who are having a special moment in nature — mini weddings, proposals, small celebrations. My focus is high impact for a small group of people. I can create a special moment for you, but it will always be intimate & personal.
Here's how we bring your moment to life:
1
Tell Us Your Vision
Describe your event, your location, timeframe, and the atmosphere you’re after. No detail is too small.
2
We Design The Moment
We check the venue, plan logistics, selects the repertoire, and handle the detail of getting the piano there.
3
Your Guests Never Forget
On the day, everything is in place. The piano. The landscape. All that’s
left is the music and the moment.
