A microphone and amplification is ideal but not wholly necessary depending on the space where the music is being presented. Power for any electronic instruments are required.
Location, stage setup, if any instruments are present at the venue. Sound profile etc.
We do provide sound amplification equipment if needed.
Yes
The best gig I’ve ever done is at Dizzy’s Jazz Cmub
My favorite type of event is a concert event where the audience and the artists can navigate through the music as a shared journey
I have been working as a vocalist, bandleader, music director, booking agent and musical curator for 8+ years. I have studied multiple genres and I am an accomplished vocalist and bandleader. I began gigging as a professional opera singer during college.
The artist that influences me the most is Stevie Wonder but I glean my jazz stylings from a host of influences Nat King Cole, Nancy Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah a Vaughn, Billy Eckstein, Al Jarreau, Rachelle Ferrell, Jazzmeia Horne, Gregory Porter Etc.
My standard setup is performing with my jazz quintet, The Problematics
I am happy to perform outside if weather permits.
I am a malleable bandleader and we are open to requests and suggestions.
Our performances are described as high energy and accurate. A smattering of multiple genres and exciting yet poignant music
We usually perform 45 minute to 1 hour sets with breaks unless we are performing in a concert format
A client can expect a dynamic vocalist with accompaniment from some of NYC’s best musicians. Ranging from duo performance all the way up to a full sextet with background vocalists depending on the event and need for music.
