Why I love what I do
For me, the joy of playing at weddings and events is all about being part of those once-in-a-lifetime moments. There’s nothing quite like seeing a couple smile as they hear their favourite song during the ceremony, or watching guests relax and connect over music at a party. Every event is unique, and I love tailoring my performance so the music feels personal to you and your guests.
