Overview

Originally from Amsterdam, where I had a successful career as a jazz pianist and professor of jazz piano at the University. Trained both classically and jazz I am able to play or improvise almost anything. I moved to L.A. in 2021 and offering my services for dinners, parties, private events, living room concerts, weddings or any other occasion you want music. I am also able to come in duo with a singer or other instrumentalist or come with a jazz trio or quartet. I have tremendous amount of experience with playing on private events and parties and thanks to my experience as an improviser I am able to adapt quickly to any situation. Sponsored and dressed by Atelier Munro, Amsterdam.

Loran was amazing

Lauren was absolutely wonderful at our Christmas party. His piano playing was beautiful, seamlessly blending jazz with classic Christmas favorites and creating the perfect festive atmosphere. Our guests loved him—so many people commented on how talented and charming he was. He was also incredibly generous and engaging, happily playing for guests who wanted to sing along, which made the night feel extra special and personal. We couldn’t have asked for a better musician for the evening and would hire him again in a heartbeat. 🎹✨🎄

Love Loran!

Loran was such a delight to work with. He arrived extra early and put everyone at ease with his peaceful demeanor. When it came time to play he performed flawlessly and seamlessly transitioned between our requested songs and various jazz melodies. He collaborated with us to achieve our vision and exceeded our expectations. Can't say enough good things!

Terrific!

Tough hitting the right balance between serious jazz and music for a birthday dinner for 80 people, but he did it. I wanted to be sure to avoid a bill Murray-type lounge pianist while still playing appropriate jazz and popular standards. This was perfect. He’s a serious jazz pro but knows what he’s doing for any gathering. Couldn’t be happier!

Exactly what we wanted

I hired Loran to play piano at my wife's baby shower. I asked that he play soft jazz/classical music similar to Bill Evans (who my wife loves) and he knew exactly what i was looking for. Loran checked in prior to the event to ensure he was dressed suitably (he looked great) and we kept in contact to iron out any minor concerns leading up to the event. He was respectful, friendly and gracious and I had no worries leaving him to do his thing whilst everyone soaked up the ambience and enjoyed the party. I will, without hesitation hire Loran for any future events that require music.

Excellent piano concert

We're thankful that Loran arrived to our event about 15 minutes before it got underway. We went over the music selection we had previously discussed he would play, and he started playing music almost right away. Every song Loran played was flawlessly delivered! So much so that the crowd at my son's birthday party was impressed with his repertoire and his charisma. He went from classical to contemporary just as we asked him to do, and some of our younger guests unexpectedly started to dance! We truly enjoyed all the music he played. In addition to being a phenomenal piano man, Laran is also well-mannered, high respectful, and friendly man. We highly recommend him for your event.
