Question 1

How long have you been performing?

Accepted Answer

I’ve been playing professionally for about 6 years, with more than a few hundred shows under my belt in that time. However, I’ve studied and played in various bands/music projects casually for the past +20 years.

Question 2

What do you charge?

Accepted Answer

Pricing may vary depending on the needs and nature of your event, but $100 an hour is generally what i charge.

Question 3

What kind of venues/events do you play?

Accepted Answer

My usual fair is wineries, breweries, restaurants, and bars, but i’ve played at all kinds of places. I’m no stranger to weddings, birthdays, holiday parties, or corporate events; name a type, i’ve probably played one at least once, if not a few hundred times.

Question 4

Do you only play solo? What other services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

While my live looping solo act is my main thing, I do have a full band that typically plays 1-2 times a month (Off the Hook). We’re a 7-piece rock/pop/funk band, complete with brass section. Please refer to my calendar for those dates in addition to my solo days (link listed above). Aside from that, I am also a part time KJ. If you are in need of a host for your karaoke night who comes complete with their own gear and screens, or are looking for a rockin’, old school band to bring the house down, feel free to reach out concerning those as well.

Question 5

Do you supply your own equipment?

Accepted Answer

I do! Once booked, just have a staging area where i can set up shop in mind and i can handle the rest. Is your event after sundown? No worries! I even have my own lighting. Don’t fret about having a power supply nearby for me either; all my gear runs off battery power.

Question 6

I have a specific day in mind for my event. Is there a way to gauge your availability beforehand?

Accepted Answer

Included in the links above is my monthly calendar. If you’re planning your event for sometime during the current month, please refer to that. Any dates not accounted for may be considered available, however exceptions may occur. I take gigs on a first come, first serve basis, so try to get your date in as early as possible to avoid missing out. For dates further in advance, please message to inquire.

Question 7

Are you willing to travel for our event?

Accepted Answer

Most of my standard gigs are in/around San Diego county, but i do on occasion travel out. If your event is a ways away, I am definitely open to taking the show on the road. Send me a message to discuss before trying to book as I accept on a case by case basis.

Question 8

How do I book you?

Accepted Answer

Easy! Simply fill out the form in the link listed above. Include your name, a way to contact you, as well as any info you can spare regarding your event (date, time, location, special instructions, etc.) and i will get back to you via email shortly!

Question 9

Do you offer lessons?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If you’d like some 1 on 1 time to help with vocals, picking up ukulele, or if you’re curious about live looping and want to learn more, shoot me a message!
