🎹 Solo Piano | Jazz, Cinematic, Neo-Classical | Columbia, SC

The Wanderer is a genre-defying solo pianist whose music blends cinematic textures, jazz tradition, and neo-classical elegance into a spellbinding live experience. Based in Columbia, South Carolina, he performs with a quiet intensity that draws listeners into reflective, soul-stirring soundscapes—whether at intimate gatherings or upscale events.

With a touch that’s both delicate and daring, The Wanderer reimagines jazz standards, breathes new life into timeless classics, and offers improvised compositions that unfold in real time. Inspired by artists like Joe Hisaishi, Hans Zimmer, and Mulgrew Miller, his performances feel less like sets and more like sonic journeys.

Available for private parties, cocktail hours, art shows, and curated live experiences. No backing tracks, no gimmicks—just keys, soul, and the space between the notes.

My setup is simple, self-contained, and highly adaptable to a variety of spaces. Here’s what I require to ensure a smooth performance:

Space: A flat area approximately 6x6 feet for keyboard and performer.

Power: Access to one standard 110V electrical outlet within 10 feet of the setup.

Cover/Shade (for outdoor events): Protection from direct sunlight or rain is necessary to safeguard the equipment and maintain performance quality.

Sound: I provide my own professional-grade keyboard and compact PA system suitable for small to mid-sized venues. For larger events or venues with an in-house system, I can connect via standard 1/4" or XLR output.

Optional:

Lighting: Basic lighting is appreciated if performing in dim or dark environments, though I do not require theatrical lighting.

Setup and breakdown typically take about 30–45 minutes. I arrive early to ensure everything is ready well before the event begins.
