Brian was great! Arrived a little early to get acquainted and was the perfect entertainment during our cocktail party! I would highly recommend Brian!
Pianist

Brian is a true professional and amazing pianist and performer. He is a tremendous asset to any event and knows how to bring the audience in!
Singing Pianist

Excellent entertainment, we asked for 60's music and we got a little Elvis, a little Beatles and a lot of variety. We danced a lot, we had so much fun. And Brian is very easy to work with, too.
1960s Era Entertainment

We hired Brian for a small get together in May and he was absolutely fantastic! We requested a mixture of pop, Broadway, and Disney music and he provided just that! Very talented musician and made our event come to life. Also he was very punctual, took requests, and made sure we were perfectly satisfied with the music. Will definitely have him back again in the future! Thanks, Brian!

What to Expect
If hired for an event, you can expect a solo or group performance personally customized to your event. If you are hosting a dinner party and are looking for mellow background music, I will make that happen! On the contrary, if you are looking to book a live band that could put on an entertaining concert and get people on the dance floor, you will get an entertaining, energetic, and heartfelt performance of just that and more!
Whether I am working your event as a solo pianist or within a group, I can guarantee that we will always arrive at your event with ample set-up and preparation time. Leading up to the event, I will be available to talk via text or call and would be happy to answer any questions you might have so the process is as easy and stress-free as possible without any ambiguity.
About
I grew up in Los Angeles and began piano lessons around age 5. Ever since elementary school I have enjoyed playing in bands, making music, and entertaining people. Beginning as a classical pianist, I began playing Pop/Rock as a teenager and Jazz in college. After completing my Bachelor's Degree in Music from Chapman University in Orange, CA, I continued my education with a Master's Degree in Music Performance - Jazz and Commercial Music from Cal State Fullerton. I currently work as a pianist, arranger, bandleader, and educator in Orange County and Los Angeles and do accompaniment work at Orange Coast College and El Camino College. I enjoy playing in multiple bands of different sizes and styles and specifically have an interest in traditional jazz/swing, 50's rock and roll, and Latin music. Looking forward to the chance of being part of your event and sharing my love of music with you all! Feel free to check out my website at brianclemensmusic.com
