October 27, 2025Wedding Ceremony and Cover of ‘Euclid’
Working with Scott was extremely easy and stress-free. I was a little worried about our music choice (piano covers of Rain and Euclid by Sleep Token) but Scott made the process seamless. I sent him the music we wanted via email, told him the time and location of the wedding, and didn’t have to worry about anything else.
The day of the wedding, as I’m getting ready in the chapel, I hear him practicing. My bridesmaids do a double take and I nod like ‘yeah, he’s pretty freaking great!’ I didn’t realize how stressed I was until I heard the piano play and a weight was lifted. Even if it rained or a groomsmen forgot his jacket, at least the piano music would be amazing!
I highly recommend Scott as a piano player. Professional, great communication, and a phenomenal player.

May 27, 2025The best!
No surprise Scott has top reviews—he was professional, punctual, and a true crowd-pleaser. He played beautifully during our pre-function and created the perfect atmosphere. A total pro and an ideal GigSalad performer.

What to expect
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I arrive early, stay flexible, warm, friendly and easy to work with, and bring something special to every occasion.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began professionally when I was 18. I am now also beginning a global presence on YouTube and download and streaming sites, being an empty-nester is awesome!
What types of customers have you worked with?
All, Dallas/Fort Worth is very diverse:) And my recording work as a session player let me work with a lot of great artists!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Find a well-respected and reviewed pianist, there are a lot of vendors with middle-school student abilities trying to pose as professionals--they may be just what you are looking for if you want nice, simple piano, and that is great. But maybe you will want a pianist who is a few notches up. Also, I am very careful to only take work that I am well-suited for. If I know other excellent professionals who might be more what you are looking for, I will recommend them to you. I want you to find the best pianist to fit your bill.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Sometimes naming songs and artists you like will give me a better idea of what you want. What one client thinks is jazz, or classical, or classic, or whatever, is different than what other clients or I myself think those genres might mean. There is not necessarily a right or wrong answer, it is just that clarity leads to providing you with exactly what you are looking for.
