What to expect
I am very flexible in the type of music i can perform. If you want, I can play hymns for a church gathering, or I can play creative interpretations of hip hop music on the keyboard. I do both instrumental and vocal covers as well as mash-ups and medleys. I can play soft instrumentals for dinner music or I liven up a party with some rock and roll. My music is easily customizable to the type of event you are looking for. I also have a few original songs and I do play some guitar and ukulele as well.
About
I started playing piano when I was a teenager, and I don't know how to read sheet music, everything I do is by ear. I've done a few paid gigs before and I've also performed at a company party and I usually frequent open mic night to keep my performing skills in shape. My music ranges from the top of the pop charts all the way to hip hop and rock. I also am familiar with multiple decades of music and I pick new music up pretty quickly
Additional booking notes
My set up is very portable, I bring my own keyboard, stand, seat, and I do have the appropriate cables to be able to plug into mosts sound systems. I can also bring an amplifier by request if you do not have a compatible sound system for my keyboard. Just give me enough room to set up the keyboard, make sure I'm near an outlet and I'll handle the rest of the technical. I worked part time as a audio operator for a live show in college and I was also a DJ for over 3 years, so I'm used to any kind of setup. I will require a microphone if vocal covers are requested.

I have a variety of influences from Owl City to Bo Burnham to Marianas Trench. I am most inspired by Postmodern Jukebox, specifically how they rearrange modern popular music to fit an older style.
Setup requirements
Would prefer a sound system to plug into
Enough space for keyboard, and near an outlet
Will need microphone for vocals unless you prefer instrumental only music which I do offer
