40th Birthday Party

I had the grand idea of hiring a violinist about 2-3 weeks before my 40th birthday party when a few things changed with my DJ i searched high and low and came across Prax’s page. From the initial contact she was very responsive and professional. Upon request she sent me samples of previous performances and answers any questions that I had. Prior to her performance, we discussed song options, etc. The day of the event, Prec arrived early to perform a sound check. Her set was amazing and exactly what I envisioned for my party and guests are still texting about her, some even asking for her booking information for future gigs. If you’re looking for a multi-faceted and talented violinist, Prax is the perfect choice. Book now, you won’t regret it!

Perfect

Praxton was absolutely perfect for our event. We held a creative and contemplative Holy Saturday vigil and she was able to help create and hold a sacred space that fit perfectly in between our readings. She was on time as we pre organized and was responsive on email in advance. I would not hesitate to hire her again, and in fact have already communicated about future hires.

Young phenom motivates tired architects

We recently signed Praxton up to come to our office and perform while we worked tirelessly on a major project deadline late into the evening. Such a talent.

Amazing talent!

We had the pleasure of having Praxton perform at our Assisted Living Facility. She was professional, prompt and personable, not to mention extremely gifted! We loved having her here and the residents enjoyed hearing something different and unique!

What to expect

I typically perform in the following ways:

1. I play the electric violin to backing tracks or with a DJ.
2. I sing and play violin with tracks to create covers of well-known tunes.
3. I perform my original music.
4. I play traditional Classical pieces on my acoustic violin.
5. I play the requested style/genre on acoustic or electric violin.

Regardless of what you need to make the day special, I will surely bring positive vibrations and a high-quality sonic experience.
