Repertoire
A vast and varied selection of songs with something for everyone
Whether you are looking for some indie classics, sing-a-long hits, chilled Ibiza vibes, rock & roll or perhaps some captivating background covers - my music can be tailored to you.
I have carefully curated a massive repertoire over the last 10 years playing as a full-time musician.
My main aim when gigging is to play music that strikes a chord with those present in order to give a memorable experience to everyone involved. I have my own style of playing, using a mixture of soulful vocals, groovy acoustic guitar and live and concise looping. However, I try to stay faithful to the original tracks too.
My set is never planned entirely in advance. I obviously have a number of songs which are played more often than others, but I also like to be flexible and can take requests in advance or at the gig to provide a unique experience for you. Here's a sample below:
