Nothing beats a good party, and I am the best deal in town if you want to get one started. I have become a bit of a local celebrity for attracting crowds outside of jays games and concerts in the summer. I am a 26 year old professional singer that can play a mean guitar, and I do so over a wide array of backing tracks. I pride myself on my singing talent, feel good energy, and knack for playing the right song at the right time. I also have a professional band called Fighting Chance if you want to go all the way. Reach out and let’s see what we can do to make your event unforgettably fun.

July 31, 2024We attended a birthday celebration this past weekend. Kip was awesome. He knows how to engage the crowd with his warm personality and has such a wide range of music. Loved his energy.

July 31, 2024Kip James bumped up the dancing and fun at my backyard birthday party!
Kip James was professional and reliable in every aspect from our first contact right through the end of the party. He delivered on every element as he’d promised - especially on the fun!
All guests, aged 20 – 65, had a blast!
During planning I told Kip James that my guests are true music fans however only a few will actually dance. To my surprise and elation, the good vibes and great performance Kip James brought had most every guest up dancing! His diverse range of music appealed to everyone, including his own compositions!
I couldn’t be happier with the outcomes and would hire Kip James again with full confidence!

November 1, 2023We held an engagement party for family and Kip was the evenings entertainment. He arrived on time, was prepared and we had no issues organizing, paying or receiving excellent value. We had a very mixed range of ages from 14 to 94 and honestly he just dealt us song after song of a range of music that had everyone dancing. Roy Orbison, Lionel Ritchie, Beyonce, Abba and just so much more. Was so fun and everyone danced and had a blast. He is really a great entertainer and I would hire him again in a second. A great experience.

Expect a very good vibe. My solo act is a hybrid between a DJ and a live musician. I sing and play guitar with the accompaniment of backing tracks, resulting in a very full sound. I also have a rockin’ four piece band called Fighting Chance!
Expect tons of crowd engagement through clapping and singalongs if that’s what the event calls for. If it’s a more passive music event, expect somebody who keeps the vibes rolling. Expect a very good party.
Kip James isn’t your average singing guitarist. He’s a full-blown one-man party starter.
A seasoned performer who cut his teeth busking outside Toronto’s Rogers Centre, Kip now plays inside for Blue Jays crowds and headlines private events across the city. Performing five nights a week, he knows exactly how to read a room and keep it moving.
Kip’s sets span modern pop and dance anthems, classic disco and soul, pop country, classic rock, and easy listening. Whatever the crowd, Kip brings the same promise: a good time, guaranteed.
I have a completely self sufficient set up with my own stage and lights and speakers. I am essentially a pop up musician. I don’t even need power with my Bluetooth capable speaker. If you want quick and easy live entertainment without any hassle, I’m your guy.
