Solo Piano

Overview

Originally from Hawaii and now performing throughout the Pacific Northwest, I bring over a decade of experience playing weddings, upscale restaurants, and private events. My instrumental repertoire spans jazz, pop, and classical, from elegant background music to something more lively.

I offer solo piano as well as jazz duo, trio, and quartet options. I’m responsive, flexible, and happy to coordinate with your planner or venue for a seamless experience. If an acoustic piano is available, I’d love to play it; otherwise, I can provide my own digital piano and sound system.

About

Originally from Hawaii, I’m a pianist now performing between Seattle and Portland. I enjoy playing instrumental solo piano, drawing from jazz, pop, classical, and old-time styles like ragtime and stride piano. Over the years, I’ve played at weddings, upscale restaurants, and private events, providing music for everything from cocktail hours and dinners to special celebrations. I enjoy finding the right balance between relaxed background music and something a little more lively.

As an instrumental pianist, I offer solo piano as well as jazz duo, trio, and quartet options. My goal is to provide tasteful, relaxed music that complements your event and creates an enjoyable atmosphere for you and your guests.
