Tay was an incredible pianist, kind, professional, and straight to the point. I requested R&B songs, and he delivered a fantastic selection, mixing in some Christmas classics that fit the vibe perfectly. We hosted a holiday party in a speakeasy-style venue, and he even dressed right on theme. To close out the night, he freestyled a few fun songs that had all our staff singing around the table. I would happily book him again.

About booking Pianists in San Francisco, CA

Some pianists are vocalists as well and can sing and play all your favorite songs. These professionals can perform many styles of music across multiple musical genres including jazz, pop, classical, and more.
The cost of hiring a professional pianist in San Francisco, California will vary depending on the type of event, the length of the performance, and the piano player’s skill level.
