Description
There are many choices in performing! I can play the piano/keyboards and sing, alone (one woman band), or with other musicians, in smaller or bigger bands (e.x. with one more musician at violin, flute, guitar, sax etc or with full band).
My repertoire is really wide in many ways and it can be adjusted further more, depending on the project.
So it can consist of atmospheric, lounge, acoustic songs at the recepction of a hotel, or it can be more lively, pop-ethnic style songs for a dinner-music, or even more lively dance music for a party occasion.
I sing in many languages (greek, english, fr
... ench, italian, spanish, arabic, jewish) so my repertoire can include original songs from many countries and from different musical genres. Or it can include for example only english or only french songs if prefered for the occasion. I play and sing contemporary songs and also songs from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. My repertoire includes really thousands of songs and instrumental pieces of music to choose from. I can also use a keyboard additionally to the piano, or instead of the piano, with backing tracks etc.
I have much experience as I have been performing since many years in various venues (from 5star hotels and gigs to big concert halls) and having released three personal cds.
I speak fluently English, French and Greek and I can communicate very well with the guests.
I love music and socializing with people, so I always do my best to make guests have a wonderful time! I love entertaining people and putting smiles around!
My performance, depending on the budget, can also be combined with a dancing show by professional dancers.
I love music and since I also love travelling and gathering useful experiences, this makes a perfect combination to visit many places all over the world and enrich my musical background. I have been professionally working as a musician for years, since a very young age, and I love experimenting, practising and make my music go to a higher level day by day!
Set-List
I have full equipment to bring with me, if needed (microphone, two high quality 12' electrovoice speakers, channel mixer, stands, cables and a wonderful Yamaha Tyros 5 (76 keys) as well as a Korg Havian 30.
