Private Parties, corporate entertainment, Christmas functions, private clubs, piano bars, hotels
I started playing professionally 30 years ago and I have played for over 55 years. I started subbing for another pianist in a restaurant and got a job in an Italian Restaurant in Toronto. I've also had previous agents and also booked my own events. A lot came from referrals and online. I have done 100's of private functions, worked on a cruise ship as a piano bar entertainer, private club, hotel gigs and a lot of recording in various studios, including my own.

Greatest Song: My Way
This depends on what equipment I'm bringing. If it's just solo piano, then I need 45 minutes, as I also bring a microphone and small P.A.
If I'm bringing my keyboard , then I need a least 1 hour.
I don't have typical performance times.
Yes I can do it and have in the past in a piano festival, however I do prefer indoors.
Clients can make requests and I'm happy to accommodate if I know the song. For weddings, we usually go over the requests prior to the event and clients can also choose the songs they want. I will also let them know then, if the requests are songs that I do or not.
Always a success! I get a lot of compliments. I've been called Miss Liberache! I get a lot of people singing at parties, around the piano. At Christmas, I bring song folders of Christmas lyrics, so they can join in with singing Christmas pop songs and carols. People love it and I'm often paid more and hired to stay longer.
