I play music of all kinds and eras. I'm classically trained, and that's my specialty, but with sufficient notice ahead of time, I can play any song requested.

Audiences should expect music played within the parameters of their specified desires. If they would like to hear classical music, they will hear classical music. If they would like to hear jazz, pop, or any other genre or even artist as a focus, they will hear it. They can create a list of songs for me to play, and I will play them. I can play atmospheric melodies to set the tone of an event during intermissions as a side piece to an event or be the main focus if necessary, though I don't expect that.
I started playing the piano at a very young age. Through years of training, I've become able to play any song for any amount of time needed free of mistakes, which I believe is most important in this industry and why, if a solo pianist is necessary, I believe myself to be the most appropriate choice. My musical versatility has seen me through a full gamut of situations ranging from cocktail parties, cotillions, and birthdays, to emergency fill-ins (because musicians not myself can be an unreliable bunch), and my improvisational skills are adaptable to changing situations.
Unless noted otherwise, pianos should be provided by any venue at which events take place.
My set list varies by the desired "feel" of clients and occasionally changes within the event to more closely fit or control the tempo of the surroundings.
My biggest classical influence is Chopin, with Bach coming in second, and Rachmaninoff after him. In terms of jazz, I'm a big fan of Thelonious Monk, and feel that his playing was a big influence on me, as well as Bill Evans and Chick Corea.
