I would need some space, good lighting, and great sounding live microphone in whatever space you the customer would have me to preform at. Some type of high platform with space and can hold up to 7,000 no less than 2,000 pounds tops. I can work with a microphone that has a cord but I would like to have a wireless microphone in most cases. I would also need to know my stage time ( how much time do I have for my performance ) and would you allow me to bring in other artist if needed. I would also like to know if you would like to keep it a clean family type of event or could I express myself with more Rated-R type of content. Before the day or the day of I would like to make sure that the sound is correct before I can start my performances and if you have a Dj I would need to speak with the DJ that you booked 3 to 2 days before the event happens. Also, if you have any special request I would need to know that in advance as well. If you don't have a Dj doing your event just make sure you have loud enough speakers and a good microphone for me to do a performance with. If you would like for me to bring my own microphones if would be extra for me to performance at your event or show. Any other issues please feel free to contact me and we will work out all details to make sure you have the show or event you want from my end of things.
