September 26, 2024An Artist and a Storyteller
Emily is such a talented singer, songwriter, musician, and overall artist. So the fact that we were fortunate to have her perform for our wedding ceremony truly made my husband and I the lucky ones. What began as a working relationship grew into a friendship for life. Emily understood and respected our vision, and embraced it by elevating it to beyond what we could've hoped for. From our first meeting, Emily took the reins and weaved our song choices into beautiful story telling. Not only does she provide a robust catalog of songs prepared, but Emily also learned a select number of songs for us. We knew she captured us when she said, "I can tell who you are as a couple from your songs; you're very romantic and intimate, but you also don't take yourselves seriously." NAILED IT!!!
When the ceremony arrived, Emily truly showed us the artistry that she is gifted with. She told a story with the most stunning vocals and arrangements that turned our wedding into a happily ever beginning. And our guests to this day still bring up how she took everyone's breath away.
We walked away with not only a beautiful memory, but also a new friendship, and we look forward to many more moments of her artistry in our lives. Cheers!

May 8, 2024Amazing and warm vocalist/guitarist
We booked Emily for a wedding and were blown away by her performance and her clear passion for delivering the best possible experience for her clients. She learned "Predatory Wasp of the Palisades" and "XO" for my and my partner's processionals down the aisle, and having Emily perform these songs live was a highlight!

July 7, 2023An Amazing Musician!
I booked Emily for my 40th birthday party which was on a rooftop in Hermosa Beach in late May. Emily was very prompt at getting back to me for booking the event, confirming what type of music, how to make the set-up work and the duration. When Emily showed up and starting plying, the whole vibe at the party turned as she has excellent music talent, a wide range of songs and really took the scene/ambiance to the next level. I couldn’t recommend Emily enough for any future events you may have that require live music.

What to expect
I play a wide variety of over 200 covers, ranging decades and genres. I typically cater my song selections to the crowd I'm serving, with everything from The Beatles to Elton John, Adele, Coldplay, etc. I typically ask my clients upon booking if they have any song requests or artists that they love. I often will learn 1-5 songs specifically for the client depending on the type of event and how much lead time I have. At the event itself, I gauge the energy of the room and add to the vibe with laid back or more high energy music. I love to take on-the-spot requests when I can, and play my original music upon request! Check out my song list in the photo gallery.

Additional booking notes
I bring my own sound equipment that is suitable for indoor or outdoor entertainment. I require an approximately 5x5 area for my speaker, mic, and myself, though I can make almost any space work. My equipment has the ability to be totally battery powered, so I can operate in any environment. I bring a 25 foot extension cord to reach wherever the nearest power source is. In the event that the location does not have power, I will need to know 24 hours in advance to ensure my equipment is fully charged.
