Overview

I am a solo accordionist, English/Spanish/French singer, and band leader for soul, jazz, pop, and world music ensembles of 2-7 people. I also DJ upon request. My credits include Hollywood Bowl, Disney, and Cirque de Soleil, and I have performed and coordinated for hundreds of private events and weddings.

Every event I perform for has a quirky and eccentric flair that makes the experience feel magical and immersive. Whether it's a Parisian accordion stroll, or an upbeat tango or Balkan jam, or event a soft ceremonial ballad with touches of classical piano and violin, I provide flexible creative options and clear communication to my clients to enhance their event vision to the fullest.

The soundtrack to the best day of my life

My wife’s family are devout Catholics and getting married in the Catholic Church was a very big deal. This particular parish had a strict policy on what music could be played. As a musician, the music was super important but I didn’t know how to navigate the Catholic canon to find something that I could connect with but was also reverent for my wife’s parish.

Melinda swooped in and saved the day. She got to know both me and my wife, what we were looking for and pick songs that fit our parameters.

Being a musician and coming from a Latin musical family, the music for the wedding was very important to me. Not only was the music great, she seamlessly integrated into the performances me and my family had planned into the reception.

In summary, Melinda is not only a consummate professional but she really cares about your special day. I highly recommend her not only as a client but as a professional musician myself. You won’t be disappointed.
