Booking me, you'll get a solo guitarist playing covers of pop & RnB songs utilizing a looper. It will be acoustic or electric guitar, depending on your preference. I will bring with me a simple PA system, which will cover event sizes up to 75 people. For larger events, I am able to bring a larger PA system at an additional cost. If needed, a (wired) microphone can also be provided for an MC.

Hello! My name is Nicolas, and I am a pop, RnB, and neo-soul guitarist. I've been playing guitar for 16 years now, and have been performing since I've moved to New York City 10 years ago. I've played as a freelance guitarist in most of New York City's well-known small venues, such as Rockwood Music Hall, Baby's All Right, The Bowery, Knitting Factory, and more. Most recently, I finished a tour, playing with Janani as we opened for Em Beihold on her Tales of a Failed Shapeshifter North American tour May-June 2026. Influences include John Mayer, Mateus Asato, Ruben Wan, Cory Wong, James Valentine, and Mark Lettieri. I also play instrumental music for weddings, cocktail hours, networking events, and social events. If you book me, I'll bring pop & RnB acoustic (or electric) guitar loop covers, perfect for creating a nice ambience for your event.
