Booking Info
What to Expect
I am a full-time musician and professional photographer. With regard to the music, I work with an extremely talented pool of musicians. As a solo musician, I sing and play several ukuleles, acoustic and electric guitars, with or without backing tracks, and take very minimal breaks, if any. I can provide you with a couple of different options as a Duo. And, depending on your specific needs, wants or budget, will determine what music services we may provide, which could be as a Solo, Duo, Trio or Full Band, DJ/Emcee/PA Services, and Karaoke Hosting. I'm also available for various photography needs.
No matter what services you are booking we will arrive on time ready to entertain. We have a great stage presence and care about our appearance. We are always respectful, friendly, professional and upbeat. We love what we do and we would love the opportunity to be a part of your event!
About
Howdy! I'm brand new to this site but not to music or photography! My name is LaWanda Wilson and I'm a Solo Musician and founder of the "Soddy Daisy Band... aka Soddy Daisy Music".... I'm available as a Solo, Duo, Band and Karaoke Host. Thank you very kindly for stopping by to check out my profile! I'd love to be a part of your event, so please reach out to me to see if I might be a good fit for you, and if I'm able to accommodate your request!
In addition to music, I'm also a professional photographer, and I am available for outdoor portraits and magazine/print work. I have been providing portrait and photography services since 2006 and a small part of my background includes working for a magazine in Savannah, Georgia, known as Chatham County Living. I shoot with a pro-grade Canon 5d Mark iv camera and L-Glass lenses. You can find a few samples of my portrait work in the photo section of my profile here, and more on my Facebook and Instagram pages under LaWanda Wilson Photography.
Please Note... For Florida residents reaching out to me, you will notice that I have a California cell number... I was born & raised in Florida, but resided in the Mt Shasta region of Northern California along the Oregon border for 6 years. I kept that number after living there as it was well established with my social media accounts, and was connected to my photography business, in addition to my music endeavors. I relocated back to Florida and to my small hometown roots of Zephyrhills in 2019.
Additional Booking Notes
For the music I provide a Bose PA and complete sound gear, as well as a portable power station for occasions when electricity may not be available. I have everything that I need in order to perform a gig for practically every setting.
With regard to my photography gear, I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark iv and L-Glass lenses.
