I can play anything you'd want a solo pianist to play. I have a deep understanding of jazz, as well as other genres to entertain with. Because of my variety, it allows me to perform across a widespread of events including cocktail hours, weddings, church services, birthday parties, substitutions for bands, concert performances, and much more. Doubling as a composer, I have the ability to produce music across different genres using electronic equipment, as well as pen and paper. I've been playing piano for 14 years, and I'm now a jazz performance and music entertainment major at William Paterson University.

I'm primarily a solo jazz pianist, so I'll be playing jazz standards that were composed from the 30s-60s, unless you have other genres or songs you would like to request. Different events call for different performances. For something like a cocktail hour or reception that calls for background music, I'll be playing softer and slower songs while I keep to myself. Other gigs may be focused on me instead of providing music for a party. In that case, I can entertain the guests, take requests, and play music ranging from different tempos and styles.
If I'm playing in a group, then you can expect me to show up with learned music to play, whether if be jazz or something more pop, rock, or any other type of music really. I own a Juno-Gi Synth, which comes with hundreds of different sounds I can use to play a part. Expectations for gigs that call for a sub in the band are pretty standard, and I can do whatever else I'm needed to do on top of that to make the group sound good.
I've played piano since I was 5, got my first synth and DAW when I was 14, and started playing jazz at 16.
Currently, I'm a sophomore studying jazz performance and music business at William-Paterson University. A lot of the work I do at school covers every musical part of performing and playing, and I take all that info over to the piano when I play your gig! I specialize in jazz and I'm an ideal candidate for a solo jazz piano performance, but I play other genres that interest me as well.
A lot of time is dedicated to practicing and playing piano, but I still make time for myself. Typically, I like to play video games and watch anime when I have the time, and I enjoy reading manga and watching NBA.
I love my work and what comes with it, so practicing and playing will always be my favorite thing to do. After hours of honing my skills in the practice room, I'm excited to take the next step and give the gift of music to the world.
The equipment I have on hand is a Juno-Gi synth with 1000+ sounds, Privia keyboard with weighted keys, Akai drumpad, external speaker, keyboard/music stand, and necessary wiring. If needed, I can bring an extension cord. I don't require any lighting for performances or other aesthetic effects. All my equipment will be needing a power source unless you would like me to play an acoustic piano you have available.
