· Arrives at a minimum of 90 minutes before his performance or event begins to insure timely setup of equipment (if needed), sound check, communication with the sound engineer, stage manager, program director, church minister of music, and the emcee (whichever is applicable).
· If needed, he has his own PA system, mic stand, and microphone. This of course, should be communicated by the event coordinator if this equipment is needed.
· Since he is a solo artist, he usually performs with professionally made backing tracks. However, he is also very comfortable with performing and communicating with live musicians as well, since he has toured with various live bands throughout his career.
