FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am $150 the first hour, $100 an hour after that, $1 per mile round trip from Frisco/McKinney to where your event is, plus the Thumbtack fees they charge me upfront for your lead, which are about $10 per hour of the gig you requested (if you put 1 hour is about $10, 2 hours is about $20, 3 hours is about $30 etc). I also add $50 for wedding ceremonies to allow time for planning your song requests and other details. My White or Black Digital Piano on an X Stand is free, my White Wedding Piano is $75, and my White or Black Grand Piano Shell is $300 (see photos in my Photos section). I have wireless mics, sound system and a battery for $25 if you need them.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I arrive early, stay flexible, warm, friendly and easy to work with, and bring something special to every occasion.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I began playing professionally in 1978. My professional experience and background include live performance and studio work. I have recorded dozens of albums and projects for major and indie labels, CMTV videos, ABC Sports, Warner Bros Discos (Latino), TV commercials, jingles, and performed for large venues, small piano bars and coffee shops. I play Pop, R&B, New Age, Country, Rock, Jazz, Ambient, Worship, Gospel, Soul, Funk, Blues, Boogie, and even a little Broadway.
