I'm a multilingual singing guitarist based in Palm Desert — singing in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, a favorite for events with international guests.
My sound blends French Chanson, Bossa Nova and Latin Jazz, and the Great American Songbook, tailored to your event. I arrive early, provide my own professional sound, and keep things easy and drama-free from first song to last.

May 8, 2026We needed a solo musician for a private anniverary party held at the Indian Wells Golf Resort and we were SO fortunate to come across Coyah! He was simply amazing from the first conversation several weeks prior, all the way through to the end of the night. He accomodated our music selections and worked seemlessly with the guests and adjusted to the atmosphere of the night. His amazing talent comes out in each beautiful song he plays/sings. As a bonus, he also sang songs in Spanish and French, adding to the romantic feel of the evening. We were really blessed to have hired Coyah and will not hesitate to have him again at any future event.

December 19, 2024Coyah arrived 45 early to set up. I asked for soft background Christmas music while my guests had cocktails and ate. And he did exactly that. Great evening, I would hire him again.

You can expect a polished, professional live music experience that fits the room — whether that's a quiet cocktail hour or a high-energy reception. I perform solo acoustic guitar and vocals, with the option to add upright bass for an elevated, classy set, or a drummer for upbeat pop/rock and Top-40 energy.
I sing fluently in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, moving between genres — pop, rock, country, jazz, classic French, and Latin standards — so international and multigenerational guests all hear something that feels familiar.
I've performed at venues including the Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage, JW Marriott Desert Springs, Parker Palm Springs, La Quinta Resort, Madison Club, and Bighorn Golf Club.
I arrive early, set up my own professional sound, and dress at least as sharp as your best-dressed guest. No surprises, no ego, no hassle — just reliable, elegant entertainment that lets you focus on everything else.
Coyah Gamble’s path to the stage crossed borders before it reached the desert. He first learned to play in South America, moved to New Orleans in 2015 to master performing and working in bands, and settled in Southern California in 2021, earning a commercial music certificate from College of the Desert — where he now performs throughout the Coachella Valley.
