September 15, 2025Victor was punctual, played a wide variety of the music that we asked for. He was very engaging and obviously uber talented. I would use him again, and highly recommend him.

Thanks so much for the review Mike! I was honored to be your music for the evening and it was a joy meeting your family/friends, such great people! Shoutout to the baby that stopped crying upon hearing the Tears For Fears song “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” he will grow up to have great musical taste if he’s already into 80s New Wave!

December 21, 2021We planned our wedding from out of state and stumbled across victor, and without much direction, he filled the mansion where we had our small wedding with the perfect background music. From guest arrival, to the renditions we requested for the ceremony, to cocktail hour and all throughout dinner, victor paired the style of the wedding perfectly with the music, creating the wonderful atmosphere for the whole night. Professional, kind, and extremely talented, we couldn’t be happier with how victor added to our perfect night!

September 30, 2021Victor played music we selected during our ceremony. He was excellent to work with and his ability to adapt on the fly helped make the event feel natural. He also played during our cocktail hour. He was willing to learn new songs by request and had an extensive repertoire of his own. We were so lucky to have Victor as part of our big day!! We would re-book in a heartbeat!!!

A Unique Approach:
Total memorization. I believe that the only way to create music that evokes a true feeling - something real - is to internalize it. For that reason, I do not happen to use printed music; I will instead first learn the music by ear, then study the music theory behind it, and when it's time to play, sit at the piano and use the music to create a beautiful effect. And after the performance, that music I have memorized will stay with me forever. I take great joy in this process. It is a process that allows me to have a huge catalog of music that is ready to be played in less than a second. You can have everything from Pachelbel's Canon in D to the Beatles, to Wilco, to Norah Jones, Jeff Buckley, to Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, or music for films like Amelie (Yann Tiersen), or even television themes (Downton Abbey, Lost, etc.) and I would love to have the honor of playing at your awesome wedding.
