From soulful ballads and jazz standards to pop, R&B, and high-energy hits, I tailor each set to fit the vibe. Whether you need romantic ceremony music, upbeat party entertainment, or a polished emcee, I deliver a versatile, engaging experience trusted by Disney, Scentsy, The Ritz-Carlton, and venues across the country — from theaters to convention centers.

Languages: English
Gig length: 60 - 300 minutes
Insurance: $1,000,000 - I do not currently carry liability insurance, but I’m happy to secure coverage for your event if required. Just let me know in advance and I’ll take care of it.
Clients can expect a professional, engaging, and polished performance tailored to their event. Whether it’s a solo vocal/piano set, a high-energy track-supported show, or something in between, I bring a mix of soulful vocals, crowd awareness, and musical range that sets the tone — from laid-back and elegant to fun and interactive.
I read the room, adjust my energy accordingly, and provide a seamless flow of music that keeps guests connected and entertained. I’m happy to emcee, take requests, perform custom songs, or simply provide a smooth musical backdrop that elevates the event without overpowering it.
Expect great sound, a wide-ranging setlist (from pop, R&B, and soul to 90s/2000s hits and current favorites), and a professional who shows up early, communicates clearly, and delivers a top-tier experience from start to finish.
I’m a vocalist, pianist, rapper, and entertainer with nearly two decades of experience performing at high-end events across the country. My original work blends pop, R&B, soul, and hip-hop — inspired by artists like Stevie Wonder, Bruno Mars, Usher and Nat King Cole — and I’ve released two albums, three EPs, and over 50 self-produced songs since 2006.
Trusted by clients like Disney, The Ritz-Carlton, and Scentsy, I’ve performed everywhere from gala stages and performing arts venues to exclusive weddings and corporate celebrations. I offer elegant background music, dynamic main-stage performances, and full-band experiences tailored to the tone and scale of the event. Whether you need atmosphere, energy, or both, I bring the polish, versatility, and professionalism to match.
For most solo performances, I can provide my own compact sound system, microphone, and keyboard. All I need is access to a standard power outlet. If your venue has an in-house sound system, I’m happy to coordinate with your tech or planner in advance to ensure a smooth connection.
For wedding ceremonies, I can set up discreetly in the ceremony space and provide music for the processional, recessional, and special moments. A power outlet nearby is ideal, but I can also bring a battery-powered setup for outdoor ceremonies if needed — just let me know in advance.
For larger events or full band setups, requirements may include:
Access to a reliable power source
Sufficient stage space (min. 10x10 for a duo, 12x16+ for a full band)
If using a venue’s sound system: minimum of 2 vocal inputs + keyboard DI or ¼” input
For outdoor events: shaded/covered area to protect equipment from weather
Lighting and staging are not required but are always helpful for evening events or larger performances. I aim to keep setup and teardown efficient and stress-free for your team.
If you're unsure what's needed, I’m happy to walk through it with you — I’ll make sure the technical side is as smooth as the performance.

My performance style is shaped by a wide range of artists who blend soul, versatility, and live musicianship. I draw vocal and stage inspiration from artists like Stevie Wonder, Usher, Bruno Mars, NSYNC, and John Legend, blending classic soul with modern pop and R&B energy. My shows often reflect the live, interactive spirit of dueling piano bars, thanks to years performing at Howl at the Moon, and carry the professional polish of my work with Disney Live Entertainment.
You’ll also hear echoes of Lauryn Hill, André 3000, and D’Angelo in my songwriting and setlist choices — artists who balance musical depth with crowd connection. And for those special, intimate moments, I love drawing from the timeless elegance of the Great American Songbook, with artists like Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole influencing the way I deliver classic jazz standards with warmth and care.
Whether it’s a stripped-down ballad or a high-energy track-backed set, I aim to bring the heart of a soul singer, the versatility of a pop performer, and the precision of a seasoned live entertainer.
