Biography
Music has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. I began picking out tunes on the piano at the age of three, started formal lessons at six, and played at my first wedding when I was ten.
I’m fortunate to have a strong ear for music and can play from sheet music or by ear - after hearing a piece just once, I can usually sit at the piano and play it. This allows me to play a wide range of styles and requests with confidence.
I perform a wide range of music, including works originally written for piano as well as piano adaptations of songs and pieces from other genres. This gives me an extensive and diverse repertoire, with the versatility to perform across styles ranging from classical music to contemporary pop and jazz to cater for diverse tastes. I am not fixed on one area of music and can switch effortlessly from jazz to pop to ragtime to musicals. This is not something that every pianist is able to offer.
Many of the most popular and frequently requested pieces I am asked to play are listed below. However, this list is not exhaustive and if there’s a song you don’t see, I’m more than happy to learn it to make your occasion exactly what you’re looking for.
