Technical Information & Requirements
I provide my own speaker, microphone, and high-quality backing tracks when a live accompanist is not available.
For events with live accompaniment, I can arrange a professional accompanist for an additional fee. A tuned acoustic piano (or high-quality digital piano/keyboard) must be provided by the venue.
Minimal staging is required, but access to a reliable power source for sound equipment is necessary.
Standard event lighting is sufficient, though focused stage lighting is preferred for formal performances.
I adapt easily to both intimate spaces and larger venues, tailoring sound levels and setup to fit the event’s needs.
