Introduction

~PLEASE READ BEFORE REQUESTING!~ !! I only do vocal gigs with guitar accompaniment, not solo guitar gigs!! I’m an LA native singer-songwriter who is professional, passionate, and would love to be a part of your next event! I’ve done rehearsal dinners, baby showers, birthdays, engagement parties, you name it. Acoustic music is my thing. My usual setup includes acoustic guitar and vocals. I bring my own sound system so you won’t have to worry about a thing! I also have an amazing roster of incredible musicians and am able to put together a band for a bigger sound (string players, additional guitar, percussion, etc). just inquire and we can make it work ! **Please note!!! I have a 2 hour minimum :) ** Additional important note !! I do not do solo guitar gigs or piano gigs, only gigs that involve vocals and guitar :)

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I’m a firm believer of pricing myself fairly but also justifiably. You do get what you pay for! $350 minimum (2 hours), $160 an hour following. I have a travel fee for events that are 10 miles or further from my location to cover miles, travel time, and gas. My hourly rate includes a PA system that I bring. I also allow for 3-4 song requests per event.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I want to make your event the best ever! We set up a pre event phone call where will go into detail about what you’re looking for day of event. Everything is discussed in depth so I know the overall vibe- I will take care of everything so you can relax and enjoy your event day of!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have my Bachelors in Fine Arts from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. I have been singing since age 9 with professional vocal instructors and have performed in major cities throughout the USA.
