MICHAEL IS THE MAN YOU WANT!! TRUST ME!!

I had Michael play the piano and sing for a surprise proposal. He was absolutely awesome! On that day it rained pretty hard and I was supposed to have the proposal in a park but couldn't. Michael was generous enough to call around and find another venue because he knew the area and knew some good spots. He came up with a nice hotel that allowed him to play in their beautiful lobby. When I walked in he was already set up and playing beautiful music for the patrons in the hotel. When we saw each other he began to play the music that I requested a week earlier that he was able to learn in that short amount of time. I then surprised my girlfriend with the proposal and everything went well. I appreciate that wonderful memory that you created for the both of us!

Great musician!

Michael is hands-down the most professional and gifted keyboard player I have ever seen! He was extremely friendly, on time, and flexible. He learned the songs for my mom's wedding in less than a week and was very cooperative with singers who he had never met before. He was so great, one of the singers wanted him to move to South Carolina with us!!! If you book him you will not be disappointed!

Awesome!

Michael went above and beyond our expectations! He made our mom and guests feel very special, took many requests, very versatile, and went way past his allotted time! I'd recommend him, and hope to use him again in the future......CJ

What to expect

My goal is to help bring your vision to life through music while making the entire experience easy and stress-free. You can expect professionalism, flexibility, and clear communication from start to finish. I come prepared, understand the flow of an event, and can adapt when the unexpected happens.

I provide my own professional keyboard setup and can perform solo or coordinate additional musicians and vocalists upon request. For larger setups, any additional sound needs should be discussed and arranged ahead of time.
