Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

- Space to fit a 88 keys keyboard + its seat.
- A chair for me to sit (if it's a piano bench it'd be even better)
- Microphone (in case the set has voice) + its stand
- Ideally an amp for the keyboard (and for the mic if that's the case) + their jack cables.
- Not required, but if the venue has an actual piano (tuned and ready to play) that can be hopefully miced up, it'd be great.


What information do you require about a venue?

- I need to know what kind of venue it is and how many people fit in the audience.
- I need to know payment conditions beforehand as well (tickets, fixed price, etc.).


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

No, I can only bring my keyboard.


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

It depends on what is needed. I am not a DJ, but we can sort it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The best gig I've ever done was with my band at La Fábrica de Hielo in Valencia. It was a very successful show, as many people showed up, and everyone had a great time.


What's your favourite type of event?

I love playing concerts at cozy venues, because it feels welcoming and chill, but I am open to any kind of event.


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

I have always played music, but I started playing concerts during college with a couple of bands I was a part of. After finishing my studies, I began to gig by myself in Valencia both alone and with my band.


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

My greatest reference and influence in music is Frank Zappa, as I love his uniqueness and weirdness. He gave me inspiration to do crazy stuff when writing music. After first discovering him, I realized experimentation and improvisation are one of the most fun parts of music (at least in my opinion).

Other artists I took influence on are Keith Jarrett, Keith Emerson, Anomalie, or Jacob Collier, that helped me develop my piano playing. Others have been Gorillaz, Tame Impala, Louis Cole, Thundercat, Vulfpeck... Alternative, indie, funky, hip-hop kind of bands.

I can't tell what the greatest song of all time is, but I can say lately a great album I've been listening to is "My Spanish Heart" by Chick Corea.


Do you always sing?

Currently in my set, I only sing in 2 songs, the rest is instrumental, but my plan is to include a few more with some singing. Depending on requests for covers, I might be able to sing more.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Usually I take about half an hour to set up and sound check. My current set is around 1 hour long, but it depends on the kind of gig. For small venue concerts, this usually works, but I can make it a bit longer. If it was a background music kind of situation, it can be 2 hours.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, that is okay, as long as it's not raining and the weather isn't extremely cold, hot or windy.


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

I usually choose my own setlist, but it depends on the kind of gig. For private events I take a few suggestions.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Very warm, chill but exciting. People tell me I communicate very well with the audience. I smile a lot and have a lot of fun when I play, and that energy is contagious. I also throw some humor in my short monologues between songs, and people always find that entertaining.
