Dree Paterson

When you book me for your event, you’re getting a seasoned performer who brings over 700 songs, a professional attitude, and a deep love for creating a memorable experience for your guests.

I perform with an acoustic guitar — either standing or seated depending on the vibe — and I use an iPad to access my extensive setlist, which spans multiple genres and decades. If you’d like a more dynamic performance, I can also bring a compact looping setup to build songs live and add extra musical layers for a unique twist.

I always arrive at least one hour early to get set up and familiarize myself with the space. I bring my own PA system when needed, and I can also play background music during breaks if power is available. For more casual or outdoor setups that require a battery-powered amp, I adjust accordingly — though playing music during breaks may be limited in that case.

You can expect appropriate attire, a can-do attitude, and a performer who’s easy to work with and responsive to the flow of your event. I typically take a 10–15 minute break each hour, unless you request otherwise.

Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a lively celebration, I aim to bring positive energy, musical versatility, and a vibe your guests will remember.

Hi everyone!
I’m Dree Paterson — an acoustic singer songwriter & bonafied "jukebox," as well as creator of funky pop artist project Dree Mon. As a live performer and award-winning songwriter based in Los Angeles, I’ve been making music for years and discovered my love of bringing the magic to events through learning guitar about 10 years ago!! Whether it’s a corporate party, private celebration, birthday bash, or wedding, I'm here to make it the best event ever!

I’ve got a song list of over 700 songs across genres, and I specialize in creating high-energy, feel-good vibes that get people dancing, connecting, and celebrating the moment, but I also love to create those soft moments that highlight and make special memories for the audience. From soulful classics to Motown to yacht rock to modern hits, I tailor every set to match the energy of your event. 50's - current songs!

Fun fact: I actually started as a professional dancer backing up other artists before discovering my voice as a singer. After a life-altering accident, I began writing songs — and what started as therapy became my passion and purpose. I'm proof that it’s never too late to chase your dreams.

My songs— can be heard in Netflix’s High Strung: Free Dance, ESPN, Disney+ X-men 97', NBC, CBS, Amazon Prime and so many more. I perform online weekly, where my livestreams on Twitch have built a dedicated fanbase.

I’d love to make your event unforgettable. Let’s make some magic together!

I aim to make setup as smooth and self-contained as possible, but here are a few details that help ensure the best performance:

Power: Access to a standard outlet is preferred. I bring my own PA system and extension cord. For more casual or outdoor setups without power, I also have a battery-powered amp.

Shade/Covering: If the performance is outdoors, shade or some sort of cover is appreciated to protect equipment (and me!) from direct sun or unexpected weather.

Space Needed: A 6'x6' area is usually sufficient for my setup, including guitar, mic stand, and small gear.

Lighting: If the event takes place in the evening or in a dim setting, basic lighting for visibility is helpful but not required.

Sound Check: I typically arrive at least 1 hour before showtime to set up and sound check.

Breaks: For longer sets, I usually take a 10–15 minute break each hour unless otherwise arranged. I can play music during breaks if I’m using my full PA setup.

I’m always happy to work with the event team to adapt to the space and flow of the event!
