I bring a professional sound system and can curate a playlist that matches the vibe of your event—whether it's chill background music, romantic instrumentals, or upbeat party tracks. Just let me know the style you're going for, and I’ll handle the transitions smoothly to keep the energy flowing between live sets.

One of my favorite gigs was a micro wedding in Carmel-by-the-Sea. It was an intimate celebration with about 30 guests, and the couple made music a central part of their day. The experience was incredibly personal—from curating the song list together to performing by the coast with the stunning California landscape as a backdrop. They left such a heartfelt review and even continue to follow and support me on Instagram. That kind of connection makes the performance unforgettable.”

My favorite type of event is when I get to play freely—just going with the energy of the moment and seeing the crowd light up. I especially love cocktail hours where I can flow from soulful '70s grooves into deep rock, indie anthems, and modern pop. When I get to blend all those genres into one seamless set, that’s when I’m at my happiest. It’s all about creating a vibe that feels alive and unexpected.

I started gigging at a young age through spoken word poetry, which naturally evolved into blending my performances with violin. Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to perform all across California at some of the dopest venues—from intimate art spaces to major event stages. Every show has helped shape my style and connect me with people in a powerful way.

I’ve been influenced by a wide range of artists across genres—Red Hot Chili Peppers, Queen, Michael Jackson, Jean-Luc Ponty, Regina Carter, David Garrett, and Bon Jovi all play a part in shaping my sound. From funk to rock, pop to jazz violin, I pull inspiration from their energy and storytelling. It’s tough to pick just one favorite artist, but if I had to choose, Jean-Luc Ponty stands out for how he revolutionized the electric violin. As for the greatest song of all time—honestly, that changes with the moment, but Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is always high on the list.

recommend booking at least 4–8 weeks in advance to secure your date, especially during peak seasons. However, I can occasionally accommodate last-minute bookings, so don’t hesitate to reach out and check availability

I normally arrive 60 to 90 minutes before the performance to allow for setup, soundcheck, and coordination with the planner or event team. For performances, I typically play 1 x 90-minute set or 2 x 45-minute sets, depending on the flow of the event. I'm flexible and happy to adjust the timing slightly to best fit the schedule and energy of the audience.

Yes, I’m happy to perform outdoors. I just ask for a flat, level surface, adequate shade or cover to protect the equipment and instrument, and a nearby power supply (or I can use my own portable power station if needed).

Absolutely—clients are welcome to select music from my repertoire, request a certain vibe or theme, or send in up to 5 custom song requests in advance. I tailor each performance to suit the tone and mood of the event.

Clients often describe my performances as captivating, soulful, and elevated—a perfect blend of elegance and emotion. Many appreciate the way I connect with the mood of the event, whether it's romantic, celebratory, or laid-back, and they often mention how the violin added something truly unique and unforgettable to their special occasion.
