Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We need a performance audio system to fill the space with volume. We need a mixing table with enough inputs for each musician. If in the sun, we need shade. If performing with a DJ we need a waist level table to place our DJ controller. We need one microphone and stand.

Please provide water and a green room space to rest and change before and after the show.

If full band, we need 2-4 monitors, 2 microphones, and stands.

Please provide 2-10 power outlets to provide power on the stage. Please provide a mixing desk. If the mixing desk is far from the stage, please provide XLR and instrument cables that reach from the stage to the mixing desk. Please provide 2-4 DI boxes and wireless set up if the mixing desk is far from the stage (when applicable).


What information do you require about a venue?

Please provide all the details on how to find the venue, where to park, and where to unload our equipment. Please also inform us if we need to limit our sound, can’t bring drums, or the venue uses a sound limiter.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

PA and lighting system available upon requests with added fees.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

We can provide a Spotify playlist before and during our sets if necessary and can provide DJ entertainment after the show upon request with additional compensation. We can play the types of music requested by the client or provide the music at our discretion.


Do you bring your own sound system?

Many venues work exclusively with a sound team so it's best to see if that's included in your space rental. If the sound system and technician aren't provided, ask the venue what they recommend. If they don't have recommendations, then I can provide the sound system, set up, and technician for an added fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I’ve performed for Formula 1 racing in Amsterdam and Barcelona. The best gigs are typically at live houses or music festivals because they provide the big stage, lighting, and sound equipment that takes my show to the next level.


What's your favourite type of event?

I love to play party shows at weddings and birthday parties because everyone is there to celebrate, get loose, and have a good time. We also love to play music festivals for the same reason. We love it when people dance and sing along.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started singing in church when I was 5 years old. I honed my skills performing and recording and began performing on a cruise ship when I was 20 years old. Ever since then, I’ve loved to perform and have over 10,000 hours of performance history under my belt. I’ve performed in China and Southeast Asia, Spain, France, Hungary, and The UK, as well as all up and down the east and west coast in the United States.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I am most influenced by James Brown and Bruno Mars because not only do I love the way they sing and write music but they put on an extremely engaging and entertaining show. I can’t choose the greatest song of all but it’s hard to find a song that moves the crowd more than “I Feel Good.”


What makes your wedding performances unique?

Every wedding is unique, and I craft performances that reflect your love story. Whether it’s an intimate acoustic moment during the ceremony, a soulful serenade for your first dance, or a high-energy funk, soul, and hip-hop party to keep your guests dancing all night, I tailor each setlist to create unforgettable memories. With years of international experience in Spain, China, the US, and beyond, I know how to engage multicultural audiences and elevate the celebration.


Do you perform special song requests for weddings?

Absolutely! I love learning and performing songs that hold special meaning for couples. Whether it’s your first dance, a song dedicated to your parents, or a surprise performance for your partner, I’ll work closely with you to bring your vision to life. Let me know your must-have songs, and I’ll handle the rest! If you need more than 1 special song, I'll add a bit to the fee to ensure that I'm compensated for the time it takes to learn your song properly to deliver the best performance of it.


Do you offer solo, duo, or full-band options?

Yes! You can book me as a solo act (vocals + backing tracks), a duo (with guitar/bass, or DJ), a trio, or a full band for a bigger sound. I’ll help you choose the best option depending on your budget, venue, and wedding style.


Can you travel for weddings across Spain and beyond?

Yes! I perform across Spain, including Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Ibiza, and more. I also travel for destination weddings across Europe. Let me know where your special day is taking place, and I’ll handle the logistics!


How long is your typical wedding performance?

I offer flexible set lengths based on your needs:
🎶 30-minute ceremony set
🍸 60-minute cocktail hour set
🥂 60-90 minute dinner & reception sets
💃 1-2 hour party sets and can provide a DJ option if necessary
Need something custom? Let’s chat and make it happen!


What do past couples say about your performances?

My past clients rave about the personalized experience, high energy, and smooth professionalism I bring to weddings. Here’s what one happy couple had to say:

"Adrian brought so much soul and emotion to our wedding—our guests still talk about the music! He made every moment feel special, from the first dance to the last song of the night. Highly recommended!"


How do we book you for our wedding/private event?

Simply send me a message here on GigHeaven, and let’s discuss your date, location, and music needs. I require a deposit to secure the date, and we’ll go over song selections and set details in a personalized consultation. Let’s make your wedding music or private event unforgettable! 🎶💍

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I typically arrive 2-3 hours before the show to do a sound check, get a feel for the venue, and check in with the event organizers again about all the specific details of the performance. I typically perform 90 minutes when working with others and upon request when performing solo. I’m happy to accommodate whatever the event requires and most important is making sure that everyone enjoys the music provided.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I am happy to perform outside but if it’s in direct sun we request shade and water. Also it’s important to provide power to the performance area and a flat surface so that I can dance without injuring myself or the guests.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We will learn up to 3 requests and additional songs are available with additional compensation if necessary. However, my repertoire of over 300 songs is typically efficient for any celebration or event.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous customers have described our show as one of the best they’ve ever seen. I’m not trying to embellish but we go above and beyond and give everything we got each time we hit the stage. The audience loves it and even if they require a little prodding, we have the experience to provide background entertainment, or whip the crowd into a frenzy, and can recognize the difference.


What genres of music do you cover?

I specialize in a mix of funk, soul, R&B, hip-hop, pop, and jazz, perfect for weddings that want romantic vibes, classy cocktail music, and high-energy dance sets. Whether you’re looking for smooth Marvin Gaye ballads, the timeless energy of Prince, the soulful grooves of Bruno Mars, or classic dancefloor hits, I bring a dynamic and versatile performance suited to your celebration.


Can you provide live music for different parts of the wedding?

Yes! I offer packages that cover:
✔️ Ceremony: Soft, romantic vocals with live instrumentals.
✔️ Cocktail Hour: Elegant background music to set the mood.
✔️ Dinner: Soulful ballads & smooth jazz classics.
✔️ Reception Party: High-energy performance with crowd interaction!
I can also provide a DJ set after my performance to keep the party going.
