Candyce is a multi-talented gem forged from the pressures of extreme adversity. Self taught and motivated weather she's playing a cover or self created melodies you will be blown away at not just the exemplary talented but strong character. Always a pleasure 🙂

February 18, 2023Absolutely Amazing!!!
Candyce was a true professional and made our event very special. I hired her to play two songs for my proposal to my girlfriend in Palm Springs. Candyce went above and beyond my expectations. Firstly she is an exceptionally talented musician. I had a custom request for two songs and she absolutely nailed them. She was very easy to work with and had great communication. She was early to arrive and performed like a true pro. I had so much going on with my engagement, Candyce made it very easy to enjoy the music and be present in the moment. She is a very versatile musician and can handle a wide variety of requests. I gave her a few different ideas until we landed on the final songs. She was very kind with her feedback and attention. If you’re thinking of hiring a musician for your event Candyce will definitely deliver. I would highly recommend her for any occasion. Now that I’ve experienced her music we will definitely be booking her again. She is top notch and will treat your event with great care.

About
Candyce is a multi-instrumentalist from Indianapolis, IN and was known to have an interest in music early on. Starting at age two, she learned how to play simple tunes like the theme from Jeopardy, and the wheel sound from Wheel of Fortune. Candyce began producing music at the age of 8, learning songs from the radio, and making her own beats to the already familiar melodies. Already, a self-taught pianist, Candyce began taking instruction on violin during middle school. However, her hunger for learning continued. Midway through the semester she learned to play bass as well. In the following years, she picked up cello, clarinet, saxophone, drums, trumpet, euphonium, mallet percussion, became a member of the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra and a passion for composing music. Candyce's passion for music led her to become a clarinet player in the United States Marine Corps Band. While serving, she was awarded the opportunity to arrange music for the Montford Pointe Marines, as well as performed at the NAMM show and the cast of Sons of Anarchy. Some of her accomplishments include: Class of 2009 Student Performing Artist of Character, Meritorious Mast: Outstanding Musical Achievement, 2018 Winter Remix Contest winner, and recognized as leader on campus. Currently Candyce performs live music across California. She hopes to bring music to all who will listen, as she believes that music has the power to heal in places where words and medicine can't.
