"The One Man Orchestra"

Music For Your Mind, Body & Soul

Hiring A Musician

sidebar info

1. The Music: Does the entertainer play the type of music that my guests will enjoy, and is he or she proficient.

2. Reliability: Does the artist provide you with a signed, legal contract for your protection. Can the artist be trusted to fulfill his or her contract.

3. Testimonials: What do past clients have to say about the entertainer, after all, this is the best evidence of all.

4. Price: Everyone wants the best price possible, but as a wise person once said, "You get what you pay for." It doesn't make much sense to go to the expense of planning an elaborate function, and then skimp on the centerpiece, because all that the guests will remember is that centerpiece.

5. Seeing Is Believing: Does the entertainer have a video of his or her performance, so that you can be the ultimate judge.

I think that I can answer all of these questions, and make your decision an easier one for you.

Check out my extensive song list: I have personally sequenced all of these songs in my studio MidiCity Sound, sang all of the background, and played every note.
I can perform every type of genre:
Pop, R&B, Country, Jazz, Quiet Background Music (BGM) or a full Dance Party, Weddings are my specialty.

I'm very proud of the feedback I've received from my previous clients, they all saw fit to give me, "Five out of Five Stars" for my work, check out the testimonial page and read for yourself.

Press "Audio": To listen to some MP3 music clips.

Press “Video”: Watch video clips of actual live performances.
