For solo performances with backing tracks, I require:
- Access to a reliable sound system with Bluetooth or AUX input, or the ability to plug in via XLR or 1/4" cable
- One microphone (wired or wireless preferred) with stand
- Stage or performance area with standard lighting (no special effects required, but soft wash lighting is ideal)
For performances with additional musicians (keys, guitar, etc.), I may require:
- Multiple mic and instrument inputs (depending on band size)
- Monitor speaker(s) or in-ear setup
- Access to power outlets near the stage area
- Sound check 1–2 hours prior to event start time
I can also provide a portable speaker and mic setup for smaller private events upon request. I aim to be as flexible and easy to work with as possible—just let me know what you have in place, and I’ll handle the rest.
