Caleb Tizon

I am punctual and will NEVER be late. I will find a way to play any repertoire I am given, and have strong improvisation skills. I have a flexible schedule that is ideal for rehearsals and repeat performances. I am a dynamic and energetic performer who loves to please an audience.

I require the bare minimum for live performing. I prefer having a standing microphone for larger venues, and occasionally will need speakers and a sound tech for performances requiring a backtrack.
