Won a university talent show

Overview

Hello! My name is William VanZytveld - a graduate of Calvin University studying Music, Business, and Spanish. I've been playing piano for weddings, cocktail hours, funerals, and other variety of gigs wanting live background piano/keyboard music. Learning by ear and sheet music, I've been able to traverse genres from classical, pop, jazz, soundtracks, R&B, and more. I am able to travel anywhere in the Midwest and bring a keyboard/sound system should the venue not have a piano provided. Reach out if you have any questions!

Incredibly talented musician

WilliamVZ Music was amazing! He was professional, responsive, and incredibly talented. When we had a last-minute mic issue, he saved the day with his own speaker. The music for our ceremony and reception was perfect—thoughtful, seamless, and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much Poli! I'm glad we were able to figure out the microphone/speaker issue so everyone could hear your vows. Beautiful day to have an outdoor wedding at the Gilmore! Best wishes on your marriage!

Amazing work!

My husband and I really enjoyed working for William for our wedding. We gave him a series of songs we were looking to have piano renditions of and he made everything happen above and beyond our expectations. He sped up or slowed down tempo depending on our requests and did an incredible job all around. I would recommend his work to anyone!

He is a true joy to work with!

We’ve had the pleasure of working with William multiple times at The Sweet House, and each performance has been nothing short of exceptional. His musical talent, professionalism, and ability to read the room always elevate the atmosphere and leave a lasting impression on our guests.
Not only is he an incredibly skilled pianist, but —punctual, prepared, and always gracious. I highly recommend William VZ Music for your next event!

What to expect

I strive for quality, professionality, puncatality, and quality. I communicate proactively leading up to events on music needs (what songs are needed, what style, and timings). My policy is to arrive early to setup to start playing at the designated start time. I'm flexible in genres but feel most comfortable with classical, pop, soundtracks, and musicals. You are able to request either traditional piano sound or take advantage of the keyboard's multiple sound libraries.

About

Hello - welcome to WilliamVZ Music! Since 2021, I've been playing piano/keyboard at weddings, cocktails, galas, funerals and a variety of other functions. I have experience playing in churches, event spaces, wineries, outdoors spaces, and even the airport. Wherever and whenever you need live music for your event, WilliamVZ Music is able to travel to you and bring equipment, should the venue not have a piano. No song is off the table - I am able to learn aurally or through provided sheet music.

Additional booking notes

Regarding equipment, I carry with me a Roland speaker, extension cord, power strip, keyboard, keyboard stand, music stand. My only ask for events with keyboard is to ensure an electrical outlet is nearby.
