• Set up time of one hour (minimum)

I am able to perform for a wide range of musical tastes. I curate every setlist to compliment each individual event. I have created a variety of setlists including bellydance, circus/sideshow, mardi gras, and luau fusion as well as celebratory themed and Spanish speaking music. I can also accommodate your specific song or musical requests. If you have a DJ, I am able to perform ambiently to your DJ's music as well!
I am inspired and influenced by every event I have had the pleasure of performing at. I have performed at Discovery Green and City Hall in Downtown Houston, as well as the Texas Renaissance Festival. I have fire breathed in the 2019 Houston HEB Thanksgiving Parade and have curated several fire and flow arts performances for The Legendary Art Car Ball and Houston Art Car Parade. In addition, I am a Flame Effects Operator, licensed by the state of Texas and a Principal on the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Special Effects (SPE-AAA) Committee, which influences my team's fire safety awareness.
