One of my favorite gigs was opening for AJ Rafael on Guam. Large venue, 2000+ people and it was early in my looping career (before Ed Sheeran blew up)
Everyone was pretty mesmorized by my cover of Sam Smiths "Make it to Me" and my loop + solo. (scene on my page)
As a wedding photographer I also love singing as weddings.
I'm one of the most helpful people to have at an event and can also be a great Emcee.
I feel very at home during a wedding as a vendor and just love seeing friends come together.
I started gigging in bars back home on Guam in 2008. Guam has a rich and vibrant music scene and at one point I was gigging 4 nights a week, 3 hour gigs for over two years.
I'm blessed to have put in my 10,000 hours so early in my life and whenever I get compliments about my music, or my setup time or my punctuality I always express my luck in growing up on Guam.
Jimmy Eat World. John Mayer. Dashboard Confessional. Boys II Men. All-4-One. Usher. Miguel. The Weeknd. Ed Sheeran. Shawn Mendez. Illenium. Daniel Ceasar.
I have been singing and playing guitar in front of audiences since 2004. Professionally since 2010.
Arrival is minimum 1 hour before start time - especially if it's recurring / venue I've been to before.
3 hour sets normally has 3x 45 minute sets.
I'm happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area, with coverage from the weather
We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
Customers describe me as the musician who also emcee's. I engage with the audience. Take requests. Make jokes and break the "4th wall" and banter a lot.
I'm open and friendly like most Islanders you know haha.
