Introduction

As far back as I can remember, I have always enjoyed being in front of the piano trying to make it sing. I was inspired to do so by the talent of my mother and older brother. After giving my family members one too many headaches when I was much younger, I was given the opportunity to take piano lessons in order to refine my technique. Through the course of the years, I developed an eclectic approach to my music. My attitude has been if I enjoy playing it, I will play it regardless of the genre. I would like to think the result has been a wide scope of music that appeals to a broader audience. I look forward to performing at your functions. Thank-you in advance for the opportunity. What I enjoy about my work is the opportunity it gives me to do something that I appreciate doing, as well as learning songs that I would otherwise not have heard or played.

Andy was so professional from the start. He scheduled a call with me and told me everything that I needed to know about what to expect on the day of my event. He brought all of his own equipment and came dressed for the occasion. The music was absolutely beautiful, and went perfectly with our calm, elegant, and lighthearted atmosphere for my husband's 40th birthday. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Andrew is a fantastic pianist and an accomplished musician. He has an incredibly long set list with a wide range of songs of different genre types. I invited Andrew to perform and give a speech about his life experiences playing the piano to a group of student-athletes. He was very enthusiastic, charismatic, and fun. The group loved having him speak and play for them. Five out of five stars, Andrew is the real deal!

After reading the already amazing reviews, I was brought to Andrew. He was very fast to respond and just over one phone call I knew he was perfect for our intimate wedding. Andrew not only was extremely professional, he tailored all my song requests to my liking as well as learning our wedding song to play, “I Choose you” by Sara Barellis. Andrew was so pleasant to speak to as we planned our night. My husband loved that he even offered to dress according to our theme. Our guests complimented him to us numerous times throughout the night, and even asked for his business card so they could hire him! We had the most amazing and perfect night and Andrew 100% played a part in that. If you’re even thinking about having a pianist at your event, stop immediately and message Andrew. Best decision we made.
