Amazing musician!

Summer is an incredibly talented musician - WAY beyond the typical entertainer! As a corporate event planner, I hire lots of pianists and she was incredibly special. She would roll from classical into the theme song of a James Bond movie and then into light rock and then into something else. We had her play outdoors on a chilly night and she still shone like a trooper. My clients were thrilled and so was I, for choosing her in the first place. Do not hesitate!

Summer Is Amazing!

My husband and I are so lucky to have the opportunity to have Summer share her musical talents with us at our wedding! She was so easy to communicate with, answered our many questions, and made us feel so comfortable in working with her. She took our request for a certain song we wanted to march down the aisle to, mastered it, and gave us a song that was better than anything we expected.
The day of the wedding she arrived on time, was set up, and ready to go. Our guests loved her playing and told us they loved her selection of songs that she played during our reception.
Summer really went above and beyond for our big day and we feel so lucky to have worked with her!!!

What to expect

I often perform for high-end corporate events, private parties, awards ceremonies, and luxury/celebrity weddings.
For weddings, I often perform at luxury/celebrity weddings before and during the wedding ceremony as well as during cocktail hour. As for the ceremony, I usually perform during guest seating, the bridal party processional, bride's entrance, and also during the recessional/exit. You can preview much of my playing on iTunes/Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, and YouTube. I am requested to play a wide variety of songs ranging from traditional wedding songs such as Here Comes the Bride, Nocturne in Eb Major (Op. 9, No. 2 - Chopin), and Canon in D (Pachelbel) to more modern covers of songs such as Perfect (Ed Sheehan), How Long Will I Love You (Ellie Goulding), I'm Yours (Jason Mraz), Home (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros), Madness (Muse), Words in the Water (Thrice), and All of Me (John Legend), Make You Feel My Love (Adele), etc.

About

I perform solo piano or keyboard, ranging from classical to rock, pop, easy-listening, soundtrack, and even electronic, rap, and hip-hop covers at public and private events such as high-end corporate events, luxury and celebrity weddings, parties (holiday, birthday, anniversary etc.), banquets, and at upscale restaurants, wineries, and wine bars--I have previously held residencies or performed frequently at Balboa Bay Resort (Newport Beach), Citrus City Grille - Orange (Orange), Rock Wall Winery (Alameda), Double Barrel Wine Bar (Livermore), and Sliver Pizzeria (Berkeley). I currently have over 2 million total video views on my YouTube cover arrangements for piano and strings and over 5 thousand monthly listeners on Spotify.
Some more background performance wise, aside from performing solo for 10,000 at the Anaheim Convention Center and performing at two TEDx events, I have also performed in bands and orchestras. I was the pianist for my high school's productions of the musicals Fiddler on the Roof and Company and also received 2nd place in the Southern California Regional Dan Stover Competition in 2007 (performing Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu). Though I do have a classical background, I mostly enjoy performing by ear nowadays, learning requests in all genres and expanding my 2,000+ musical library of songs committed to memory. Aside from my solo career as a pianist, composer and arranger, my studio and touring/live credits include Bebe Rexha (on The Ellen Show), Circa Survive, Anthony Green, Chon, Naia Izumi, KSHMR, Until the Ribbon Breaks, Alexandra Shipp, Love, Alexa, Psychic Barber, and more.

I also can be hired to perform in my piano and violin duo (with optional vocals and backing vocals), Yas & Sum. We specialize solely in luxury and celebrity weddings and high-end corporate events.

I can additionally hire other/more violinists, violists, cellists, guitarists, drummers, bassists, flutists, vocalists, etc. to perform along with me.

My most notable musical accomplishments include:
Becoming the youngest person to ever pass the Yamaha Teaching Certification exam (Level 5 theory/performance) in 2001.
Performing solo piano at the ACSI National Teachers Convention in front of 10,000 teachers and schooling professionals at the Anaheim Convention Center in 2003.
Passing the Advanced Level of the MTAC Certificate of Merit exams in 2004.
Graduating from UC Berkeley in 2010 with a BA in Legal Studies and Music Minor.
LA Weekly wrote an article about me and my music that was published both online and in print in 2012.
Performing at TEDxUCSD 2013 (duo with a violinist) and TEDxCambridgeUniversity 2014 (solo).
Touring with Circa Survive in 2017, playing venues including the Shrine Expo Hall and Terminal 5 NYC.
Performing with Bebe Rexha on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2019.
Performing with Tiny-Desk-Contest-winner Naia Izumi at The World Expo in Dubai in December 2021.
Touring with Kings Elliot, playing keys and running triggers, opening for Macklemore and Imagine Dragons on a US/CAN stadium tour--venues included T-Mobile Arena (Kansas City), Fenway Park (Boston), Rogers Centre (Toronto), Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas), BMO Stadium (FKA Banc of California Stadium; Los Angeles), etc. for crowds of up to 50,000.
Performing with Aespa at Outside Lands Music Festival (main stage) in August of 2023 for a crowd of 55,000+.
Performing with Lari Basilio at FGMAT (Festival des Guitares du Monde en Abitbi-Témiscamingue) in May 2024.

Additional booking notes

I do not need to relay any other additional tech information at this time, however, I do want to ensure that if the venue/host is providing a piano, that it be in tune with working sustain and soft pedals. I also need there to be adequate lighting at the piano so I may see the keys and potential a couple set notes/list I make if the event is at night or in a dark/dim-light room.
If the venue/host does not provide a tuned, acoustic piano, and I am to bring my keyboard, please ensure that your venue has at least two three-pronged outlets near where I am to set up, into which I shall plug my power cables for my keyboard and amplifier. Should I be bringing my keyboard and amplifier to a performance, the client is responsible for providing appropriate coverage for my keyboard, amplifier and myself should there be inclement weather etc.

Set list

My set list changes each performance based upon what is requested. I currently over 2,500 songs committed to memory over a variety of genres and am always happy to learn more. I've played everything from Bach to Gershwin, Green Day, Jack Johnson, Metallica, Beirut, Pink Floyd, Albert Hammond Jr., Snoop Dogg, Kid Cudi, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Thrice, Circa Survive, Skrillex, Justice, Debussy, Ariana Grande, Deftones, Daft Punk, Taking Back Sunday, Wolfmother, Saosin, Sia, Avicii, Brand New, Sufjan Stevens, The Black Keys, Chris Brown, Chopin, Kanye West, Matt Costa, The Postal Service, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Nero, Flipsyde, soundtrack music by Hans Zimmer, and even TV theme songs from shows such as Game of Thrones and The Office. ** Please note I can learn music both by ear and by sheet music **

Influences and inspiration

This is a tough question to answer as my influences include both composers whom I've performed (classical mostly) as well as musicians to whom I listen for pleasure and have covered their songs... these would include: Beethoven, Chopin, Muse, Ratatat, Circa Survive, and Thrice.

Setup requirements

Tuned, acoustic piano with 88 working, non-sticking keys, tuned to A440, and a working sustain pedal (if the piano is to be additionally amplified beyond raising the piano lid, I can provide a microphone and speaker at a small additional fee).

If client/venue does not have a tuned, acoustic piano on site, then I can provide my own keyboard and amplifier for an additional cartage fee of $150, as long as the venue has at least two working 3-pronged outlets where I am to set up.
