AY’s setup can be extremely simple.
For most events, all he needs is:

• A microphone
• A small space to perform
• Access to a standard power outlet

AY can perform using the venue’s sound system, or he can bring a small PA system for smaller events when needed. DJ equipment and backing tracks can also be provided depending on the package booked.

No large stage or complicated production is required. AY can perform indoors or outdoors, as long as the performance area is safe and protected from rain.

We will confirm the simple setup with you before the event so everything is easy and ready to go.
